I grew up near the hill country area and used to catch them in jars. I remember the ones I caught as more purplish though- been a long time and the memory isn't what it used to be. They're actually pretty beneficial - they take out a ton of bugs and spiders and even lizards and such. Never got tagged by one but my brother did - seemed super painful
It's been probably 20 years since I've seen one- figured the fire ants had taken them out like just about everything else that lives on or near the ground. |

Scolopendra sp.
Nasty! Some of the larger species (up to a foot, or so long) are reputed to be lethal to humans. |

The centipede was under a log, in Texas, until the guy I was with cut off its head with his knife. The moccasin was in Florida, and came out of a canal to attack me. It had a really shitty disposition. |

A bark scorpion sting is minor. I got stung last month and my finger throbbed for about half an hour. I didn't kill it. Not even mad bro.

Yeah but scorpion stings are accumulative. I've been stung numerous times and each times the symptoms are more noticeable, specifically, numbness of the lips, feeling drugged the next day and heart palpitations.

Scolopendra heros is purported to make tiny incisions with its legs while walking across human skin. When the animal is irritated, a poison is supposedly produced near the base of each leg and dropped into the wounds causing inflammation and irritation. According to one story cited by Dr. Baerg, an officer in the Confederate Army, while sleeping in his tent, was suddenly aroused by the creepy feeling of a large centipede crawling on his chest. A number of spots of deep red, forming a broad streak, indicated the arthropod’s passage across the man’s chest and abdomen. Violent pain and convulsions soon set in, accompanied by excessive swelling in the bitten area. The victim fought with death for two days and then succumbed. The agony suffered by the bitten officer was described by an eyewitness as the most frightful he had ever observed. The famed arthtopod scientist J. L. Cloudsley-Thompson once explained that “centipedes seem to exert a weird fascination on the morbid appetites of the hysterical and insane.”

I remember that my dad got bit by one that got in bed. It got infected and he told me it hurt pretty bad. My dad thought a yellew jacket sting was an inconvenience and ate fresh jalapenos at dinner with his meals like they were celery.
I see one or two a year around the house and kill every one I see. |
