This is my biggest centipede, a juvenile Ethmostigmus rubripes. They are the largest centipede species in Australia, exceeding twenty centimetres (this one still has a lot of growing to do). This is my first time handling it, and it became accustomed to my touch surprisingly quickly, calming down much faster than the centipede in my blog post, which is still a bit jumpy. This is the green colour form, but it comes in a variety of colours across Australia, including an orange and black striped one, and a jade green form with bluish legs.
