Waterfall centipede
The waterfall centipede is a giant centipede that can live both on land and in water, which makes it the first known amphibious centipede. It is found in Southeast Asia, near streams and waterfalls. It is special because it hunts and swims in water, which other centipedes are not known to do.1

注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它咬了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实
It is the first known amphibious centipede, meaning it can live both on land and in water.1
Its body surface is hydrophobic, so water rolls off and leaves it dry.1
It swims with eel-like side-to-side movements of its body.1
A specimen from Vietnam collected in 1928 had been misidentified as a different centipede, and was later recognised as this species.1
