Hura centipede

Cormocephalus rubriceps
只是會痛會痛,但不會對你造成嚴重傷害。
蜈蚣 咬吃:肉
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

The hura, also called the giant centipede, is a centipede found in Australia and New Zealand. In New Zealand it can grow to over 20 centimetres, which makes it one of the largest centipedes there. It hunts small animals and can give a painful bite when threatened.1

牠吃什麼?
It is a predator that feeds on insects, spiders, other centipedes and small reptiles. It raises the back of its body to grab prey with its hind legs, then curls round, bites and feeds.1

怎麼認出牠

  • The head and first body plate are reddish-brown, and the other body plates are olive-brown.1
  • It has large black forcipules, which are fang-like claws near the head.1
  • Its legs are yellowish at the base and turn green towards the tip.1
  • The last pair of legs has light blue tips.1
  • In New Zealand it can exceed 20 cm long, but in Australia it usually reaches only about 3.9 cm.1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用?

The bite can cause swelling. In one recorded case it caused severe pain and vomiting.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

When threatened, it can inflict a painful bite.1

牠害怕時會做什麼?

When threatened, it uses its forcipules to bite.1

如果牠咬人

  • 清洗咬傷處,冷敷或泡在溫水裡止痛,如果情況變糟,要就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果被牠咬了:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識

1

In a study on the Three Kings Islands, researchers reportedly had to wrap their sleeping bags in tinfoil to warn them of the centipedes nearby.1

2

In New Zealand, introduced rats and European hedgehogs eat hura, so the centipedes are most common on islands without these pests.1

3

North Island brown kiwi are known to prey on hura.1

4

Its blood-like fluid, called haemolymph, has a high concentration of protein and is thought to be typical of more primitive arthropods.1
