Now, that is one big centipede! I cannot even imagine one that large; nor would I want to feel the pain of being bitten by one. Had a much smaller centipede bite me some years ago and it hurt.
I was amused to notice who narrated the Google video clip that showed a centipede catching a bat. David Attenborough, is there anyone else who can match him as a nature narrator? |
