Lithobus forficatus

Red, long, lots of legs.

Under rocks.

Notes:

Garden centipedes are native to Europe, but where brought to our area accidentally. They like to hide under rocks. Centipedes are carnivores and in our area they prey on other arthropods. But in South america they can grow big enough to eat birds, mice, bats and even snakes!
