What is probably more traumatizing was witnessing one of THOSE monsters on your person. That sight alone would scar me for life. But then again, I do have a phobia of centipedes, so my fear may be worse than others'.viviannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-69731969563230059492007-12-20T18:10:00.000+09:002007-12-20T18:10:00.000+09:00Hi James and Lee,Glad you found my site and it pro...Hi James and Lee,<BR/>Glad you found my site and it proved useful for you. The world of invertebrates is vast and intriguing requiring a lifetime to explore only a small portion. Its a great time of the year to begin, so thanks for your interest and here's wishing you both happy hunting.<BR/><BR/>Jack.WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714877215893612150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-29305523895535148382007-12-20T12:31:00.001+09:002007-12-20T12:31:00.001+09:00hello fellow centipede lovers!!!We were extremely ...hello fellow centipede lovers!!!<BR/>We were extremely excited when we found one of these centipedes.

I find that unless you have the actual animal (preferably inactive), then they are not very effective (which is one of the problems when trying to id things from photos). Still it usually gets you heading in the right direction, which is often all you need.<br /><br />Thanks<br />JackWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714877215893612150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-77023448175877153932007-01-28T19:46:00.000+09:002007-01-28T19:46:00.000+09:00Hello there Jack,
Was starting to wonder if you w...Hello there Jack,<br /><br />Was starting to wonder if you were posting this week.<br /><br />I remember the centipedes I saw as a kid in Adelaide, dark green in colour and bigger than any others I've seen anywhere else since (I'd like to say they were six inches long, but that may be from a child's memory, although I'm not exaggerating much I wouldn't think).<br />I did a bit of a Google as I was viewing your blog and found a good CSIRO site for centipede ID using dichotomous keys<br /><br />http://www.ento.csiro.au/biology/centipedes/centipedeKey.html <br /><br />Apologies if you already knew this site, but may be useful.<br /><br />See you next week,<br /><br />Cheers<br />Peter<br /><br />--Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-50780276415460137222007-01-28T18:56:00.000+09:002007-01-28T18:56:00.000+09:00Hi buffy, the ones around me are around 4 inches t...Hi buffy, the ones around me are around 4 inches too. Those in the UK are apparently only around 1 inch, so maybe the cooler southern areas are not ideal for year round growth.<br /><br />Thanks for the interest.<br /><br />Jack.WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714877215893612150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-51680855676188703562007-01-28T18:07:00.000+09:002007-01-28T18:07:00.000+09:00I've not seen one as big as 6 inches, but I think ...I've not seen one as big as 6 inches, but I think about 4 inches in South West Vic. No idea which one it was though. And after sitting on Mt Rouse watching Comet McNaught the other night, I swung the torch around to stand up and discovered a very busy little (about an inch long) centipede scrabbling around beside me. And I didn't have the tucked in clothing thing going either! I let it go about its business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
