Tanzanian blue ringleg centipede
MordeThe Tanzanian blue ringleg is a centipede with a bright red head, though its colour varies from place to place. It lives in warm places across many parts of the world, including much of Australia, Africa, Asia and the Americas. It is a fast-hunting nocturnal predator, and its bite can be painful.1
Como recoñecelo
- Adults are generally characterised by a bright red head and a brownish body.1
- Adults have distinct striations, or lines, between each body segment.1
- Juveniles lack clear stripes and often have a head that is a similar colour to their body.1
- Adults grow to around 13 cm, though colour varies widely between populations, so colour alone can be misleading.1
- In the field, the species can sometimes be told apart from other Scolopendras by its relatively thick rear legs, called ultimate legs.1
Adoita confundirse con: It is often confused with the giant red-headed centipede (Scolopendra heros), the Chinese red-headed centipede (Scolopendra subspines) and the Tanzanian blue ring centipede (Ethmostigmus trignopdus), which have similar-sounding common names. Thick rear legs can help separate it from other Scolopendras.1
Poder da pezoña
A pezoña sae polos seus cairos ou dentes cando morde.
Que fai a súa pezoña?
Its venom is neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves, and it rapidly paralyses and kills prey. The venom contains serotonin, which causes a pain response, along with proteins and enzymes. In humans, bites can cause redness, swelling and, in some cases, severe pain.1
Que perigoso é para as persoas?
Perigo para as persoas: DolorosoPode doer moito, pero case nunca é grave.Bites in humans cause redness, swelling and sometimes severe pain. Robust case studies of this species are limited, so its effects on people are not well documented.1
Que fai cando ten medo?
When approached from behind, it raises its ultimate legs aggressively, which may confuse predators by disguising its vulnerable flanks as its fang-bearing head.1
Se morde
- Lava a mordedura, arrefríaa ou mete a zona en auga morna para a dor, e busca axuda médica se empeora.
Chama sempre primeiro ao teu número de emerxencias (112, 000, 911). Isto son consellos xerais de primeiros auxilios, non consello médico. Primeiros auxilios básicos
Mantente a salvo
- Nunca toques, collas nin molestes un animal salvaxe, aínda que sexa pequeno e aínda que pareza durmido ou morto.
- Déixalle espazo. Se atopas un, mantén a calma, recúa amodo e déixao ir polo seu camiño.
- Se un te morde: mantén a calma, non te movas, chama ao teu número de emerxencias (112, 000, 911) ou vai rápido a un hospital. Lembra como era, unha foto axuda.
Non vai a por ti. Usa a súa pezoña para cazar comida ou para defenderse, e prefire con moito agocharse. Máis sobre como estar a salvo

Datos
Centipedes are the only known animals whose venom partly comes from genes transferred horizontally from several other groups of organisms.1
Enzymes in its venom let it digest prey outside its body, sucking out the broken-down contents through the prey's exoskeleton.1
The venom of this species contained the first active enzymes ever found in any centipede venom, discovered at Ain Shams University in 1983.1
It is kept as a pet and traded internationally, with prices averaging around US$35 online.1
Desmontamitos
Mito: The species can be identified by its colour alone.
Verdade: Colour varies widely across regional populations, so colour alone can be misleading.1
