The Amazonian giant green-horned centipede is a large, fast hunting centipede that lives in the Amazon rainforest. It is a predator that uses venom to subdue its prey, and it is known in parts of Brazil for its use in folk medicine.1

It hunts actively and seizes prey small enough to overpower, including arthropods and small vertebrates such as rodents, frogs, snakes and lizards. It holds prey with its muscular body and many legs, then delivers a venomous bite. It will also scavenge when food is available.1

When disturbed by a predator, it runs away quickly. If pursued, it raises its terminal legs to draw an attack to its hind end, then grips the attacker, spins round and bites before fleeing.1

Eziokwu

Despite its size, it can eat small vertebrates such as rodents, frogs, snakes and lizards.1

When a predator touches its raised rear legs, it grips the attacker and spins round to bite.1

A peptide called lacrain, found in its body, has strong effects against Gram-negative bacteria. It is the first peptide with antimicrobial activity described from a myriapod's body extract.1

Lacrain shows little toxicity to human red blood cells, which makes it promising for future uses.1

In northeast Brazil, it is used in regional folk medicine as a painkiller (analgesic).1
