    Scolopendra subspinipes

    …the species is known by many common names, including jungle centipede, orange-legged centipede, Hawaiian centipede, and Vietnamese centipede.

    …it is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the Indian Ocean, all of tropical and subtropical Asia from Russia to the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia, Australia, South and Central America, the Caribbean islands, and possibly parts of the southern United States…

    Centipedes are the absolute worst of the worst in terms of disturbing insects. I can’t even look at one without my brain vividly simulating the way all of those crispy little legs would feel clinging along the length of my arm.

      🤓uhm ackhtually centipedes are not insects but are members of a different group of arthropods called Myriapods, along with everyone’s favorite detritivores the millipedes

        My favorite myriapod is Arthropleura. Imagine a millipede the length of a car!

      Imagine how they’d all feel making purchase on your soft throat tissue as it forces its way down your throat

        I saw a video once of a giant centipede devouring a live mouse, and it still fucks with me every time I think of it. I still remember that mouse’s eyes.

      House centipedes are entirely harmless. I would be happy and honored to see one skittering around in my home. They eat harmful things.

      Also myriapods (centipedes and millipedes) are not bugs.

    Knowledgeable identification of an insect from the photo with cited reasoning: nice.

      It’s not an insect.

    No, I would not purchase it.

      Gicho is a delicacy, you shouldn’t turn your nose up at it.

        I’m more worried about that thing turning up my nose.

    Is it a hot dog when it’s neither cooked or in a bun??

    source
    • faythofdragons@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Depending on your definition of ‘bun’, the centipede could be the bun here.

      source
      • Ziglin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Needs more fur to be a bun.
