Ethmostigmus rubripes (Australia)
Thought I’d just share a few pics of my juvenile E.rubripes I found in my backyard located South East Queensland. This species is the largest in Australia and would be considered a giant centipede as they can easily exceed 20cm plus. In my location we get 2 different colour forms, the one you see here and a tiger form which is yellow/orange banded. It’s actually amazing the colour forms this species comes in. There must be at least 30 different variations of this one species. They can be a real beast of a Centipede.
