i just saw the WIKI photo from the asian market with scolopendras on sticks…

They come in some gnarly colours don’t they

This is a close relative of the bugger that got me

Whaaat how would they taste * :woozy_face: they look fascinating but intimidating, do they move fast? :grimacing:

  • I would never try

They’re pretty quick. And pretty much indestructible. I wouldn’t normally hurt a fly, but did have several smacks at the one that got me in my tent. Got it with my shoe a few times and it just kept doing laps

Keep that tent door closed these days, ocean breeze be damned

me neither… i like most insects but there are a few i really find disgusting and alienating… and on top the poison of many Scolopendra ranges from extremely painful to deadly. But ok, that may not count on an asian market…
