Giant Desert Centipede

Texas Canyon, Dragoon, AZ

OK, this one is really creepy! I saw it on the dirt entrance road to the museum as I was going to
work. I stopped the car, jumped out and started shooting! I could not believe the size of this
monster...at least six inches, maybe more! Couldn't get a sharper picture because it kept coming
toward me and I kept backing up. When it went under my car, I quickly got in and drove away (didn't run it over).

When you say "giant", exactly what do you mean??

Carol... this is really gross! Imagine if he crawled up your pant leg. Does he bite or sting? Glad you had that telephoto on your camera!

A snake with legs! Yikes! Wonder what it becomes when it grows up? Great find, and well captured! V~
