Scolopendra Hardwickei

Scolopendridae

Description:

About 15cm large, with exceptionally bright and contrasting coloration, alternating dark orange and deep black segments, with dark orange legs

Habitat:

I found it in Kuala Lumpur city centre, on a foot street area, probably came there together with some fruits to be sell from rural areas, I saw it from the car and I just stopped while trying to get a pic from my seat with the door opened with my phone.
