The Peruvian giant centipede is the largest centipede species in the world, growing longer than 30 centimetres. It lives in northern South America and on several Caribbean islands, mostly in rainforests and dry forests. It hunts a wide range of animals, from insects to bats, and its venom is strong enough to stop small mammals.1

It lives in tropical or sub-tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest, hiding in dark, damp places such as leaf litter, under rocks and logs, and under tree bark. Near human buildings, it often hides in trash piles, rubble, plant pots, crawl spaces under buildings, under old floor and ceiling boards, and in cracks in wooden, concrete and brick walls.1

It eats any animal it can overpower and kill, including large insects, worms, snails, spiders, scorpions, millipedes, tarantulas, small lizards, frogs, snakes, sparrow-sized birds, mice and bats. Large individuals climb cave ceilings and use a few legs to hold on while they handle heavier prey, such as bats.1

At least one human death has been linked to its venom. In 2014, a four-year-old child in Venezuela died after being bitten by a giant centipede hidden inside an open soda can. Researchers at Universidad de Oriente later confirmed the animal was this species.1

Dintlha

Large individuals have a clever way of catching bats: they climb cave ceilings and hold their heavier prey with only a few legs attached to the ceiling.1

It is the largest centipede species in the world, with a length exceeding 30 centimetres.1

It can overpower animals as large as tarantulas, and it can also kill snakes up to 25 centimetres long.1

Its venom comes from a modified pair of legs placed just underneath its head.1

It climbs readily and will use hiding spaces under tree bark.1

Its natural predators include large birds, spiders, and mammals that hunt arthropods, such as the coati, kinkajou and opossum.1
