Giant centipede found in Tekong

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=30879

STOMPer Vassili sent in these photos of a giant centipede his brother-in-law found yesterday (Aug 10). He also sent in a video to prove it's not a fake.

Said the STOMPer:"My brother-in-law found this giant centipede in the kitchen of an army camp in Pulau Tekong on Aug 10.

"He said he found it underneath a cooking utensil and believed it must have made it way to the kitchen from the nearby forested area.

"He brought it home to show me and just to show STOMPers out there just how big the centipede is, I placed it beside my cable TV remote control.

"In fact, the centipede is easily longer than the remote control, if its body were stretched out straight.

"To prove it's not made of rubber, I've also taken a video of it."

Back in the squatter days, it's a common sight to see centipede of this size. Nothing to shout about.

According to Wiki, it can be as long as 30 cm.

Size can range from a few millimeters in the smaller Lithobiomorphs and Geophilomorphs to about 30 cm. in the largest Scolopendromorphs.

I used to take chinese medicine with part of centipede. It is macham like a form of aphrodisiac. Damn powerful. Months after I stop taking, was still going strong. Now back to normal. :(

Try beating this chinese long centipede which grows on human scalps.....

 

[Dogsquare]

my comrade was bitten by one of these big centipede in tekong. you can see 2 holes marks on his knees. swollen and sent to hospital to get a jab.

 

[Tailok]

Really suaku. I tot "giant" means "GIANT". Turned out so small. Smaller than my didi.

 

[KuaTioGui]

what a beauty...

used to catch them (have my men catched them rather) during unit days in the army.

at first we went to aquarium shop to buy 2 adult centipedes... so we can put them into the boots of this cheebye worthless regular 1st sgt cos this cb kia always like to sabo people.

then realised the camp itself got lots of them if u looked closely enough. managed to catch a few and keep them.

feed them anything and they will ownz them hands down.

threw in live lizards, grasshoppers, huge grasshoppers/locusts, praying mantis, moth, u name it... everything that crosses a centipede's path, will end up in its stomach. sight to behold the way they attack and then munch on their prey.
