  1. Any idea on the size of this one? May be a good indication as Scolopendra subspinipes is described as one of the lengthiest centipedes. Posted 7 years ago

''Scolopendra subspinipes'' is a species of centipede. The native range is uncertain. The certain natural range is Meganesia and Indomalaya. The species is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the Indian Ocean, all of Tropical and Subtropical Asia , South and Central America, and the Caribbean. However, how much of this range is natural and how much due to human introduction is unclear.
