Its venom contains a peptide called SPC13 that kills or slows some bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In studies on mice, the venom damaged muscle, causing tissue death and abnormal mitochondria (the parts of cells that make energy). It may also affect the respiratory complexes, the chemical systems cells use to make energy, of the animals it hunts.1

Its venom is used to defend itself, but it cannot fully rebuild its venom within 48 hours, which limits how well it can defend itself.1

ሓቅታት

Its venom contains a peptide that has shown antimicrobial activity against bacteria that cause hospital infections.1

Within two days it regenerates 65 to 86% of its venom volume, but its venom levels do not return to their original amounts even after 7 months.1

The bigger the centipede, the slower its venom regenerates, so body size limits how quickly it can recover its venom.1

Its colours are so varied that its species name, polymorpha, means "many forms".1

It is most active at night during the cool winter months, or during the summer New Mexico Monsoon, when it is cooler and wetter.1
