Only if it was a double barreled 12 gauge shotgun with 00 buck on the left and a slug on the right.

Yes they can!

In Ian Fleming’s novel, Doctor No, it was a 6 inch long centipede, and not a tarantula like the movie did it, that was siced on James Bond in the hotel room.

EEEEEEEEK. I got some of them little bastards in my house pretty often. If I ever saw one that big I'd have to open fire.

I think if your allergic to bee stings it will kill you

12 gauge would be my backup piece for that critter.

Giant Centipede Fact File

Ethmostigmus rubripes

This is the largest native Australian centipede, growing to 14 cm long. The Giant Centipede is a member of the scolopendrid family, which includes the largest centipede in the world, Scolopendra gigantea - a 30 cm centipede from South America that is able to eat mice and lizards.

Scolopendrid centipedes live in logs and sheltered places and, like all centipedes, the first pair of legs behind the head is modified into a pair of fangs, which contain a poison gland. A bite from the Giant Centipede may cause severe pain that could persist for several days. However, no deaths have been recorded from the bite of any Australian centipede.

Distribution:
Throughout Australia.

Habitat:
Urban areas, forests and woodlands, heath, rainforests, deserts.

Status:
Common

Size:
Up to 14 cm.

Bite:

Scolopendrid centipedes may bite if disturbed or handled. The bite may cause severe pain and associated swelling. An ice pack may relieve local pain. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Heres the SW USA one
Giant redheaded centipede
Order: Scolopendromorpha
Family: Scolopendridae
Genus and species: Scolopendra heros Girard

Giant redheaded centipedes are not frequently observed or collected, but those that make themselves known attract a great deal of attention because of their size and fierce appearance. Specimens average about 6 ½” in length, and they may reach nearly 8” in some instances. They have been called “giant desert centipedes,” but this appears to be a misnomer because the centipedes are often collected in rocky woodland in Arkansas. The species is also known to occur at least in Arkansas, southern Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and northern Mexico.

I would shoot myself if i saw one of those coming at me. My dad said they were fuckin around in hawaii when he was in the marines and the radio guy got one of those things latched onto his neck in the middle of the night.

Thank god for winter.

Those damn "house centipedes" are bad enough, and I kill 1-6 of those a night in my apartment.

Southern Italy have those nasty bastards. I will never forget hopping off a UH-1 and saw my buddy waiting to get on. His hand looked like one of those surgical gloves inflated and painted shiny red color.

I was freaked out when I found one that had a purple body, bright yellow legs and a fire engine red belly, crawing in my buttpack.

Spiders dont bother me, sharks dont bother me, snakes dont bother me, but caterpillars and centipedes freak me out big time. Too many legs and they sting like hell.

Yes, I have seen those big critters here in AZ, too. We were playing with one of the large desert Scorpions at work the other night.....it was pretty sweet. But if any of us saw one of those centipedes....we'd be out of there like a shot.

What about NORTHERN Italy?

All those times playing around Monte Romano I never once saw a centipede.
Snails like crazy, yes.
But never centipedes.

Come across them fairly often, they are all over the Edwards plateau. The wife didn't come outside for a week after I showed her one.

I've been hoping to come across the lime green and yellow variety, I have not seen one of those since I was 14. I think the proper name is Sonoran centipede.
