Jade reports that since this photo the eggs have hatched, leaving the mom with a brood of pede-lings to care for, which she'll do for several months. I just have one question: what about daddy centipede? Dead beat.
Thanks for the photo, Jade.

I think Jade has been making some offerings to a fertility god or two. Not only has one of his scorpions recently reproduced, but check out the proud mommy centipede below!

Wow. Centipedes give me the willies and I love looking at photos of them. This mama's inpressive--let's see pics of the babies!!
ReplyDeleteAs far the comments on the previous video go--who put a nickle in that guy's slot? No room to even post another PERTINENT comment there.
ReplyDeleteOh my ... not another 'pede post! Major case of the willies here!
ReplyDeleteAwhhhhhh.... Those are some big eggs!
ReplyDeleteI hope we'll see the behbehs after hatching?
I hate to bring bad news, but she ate the babies before I had a chance to take them from her. :(
ReplyDeleteThat is a bummer, Jade. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteAwh, I'm sad to hear that Jade.
ReplyDeleteObv. the whole nurturing momma thing is trumped by hunger. I hope your next batch is more sucessful (if there is a next).
'Pedes have my undying respect.
