No, it was a black millipede.

While I was taking the photo a large red millipede crawled between my toes and my first thought was centipede.

I hate centipedes, they are mean suckers.

I should take some photos of centipedes, but I always kill them before I have time to think.

It's been too long since I was there. This should be my year to go, but I just don't see it happening. When I finish my PhD, I may take a month off and go decompress there.

You've got some beautiful Heliconia, and I'm normally not a great fan of them! Love that Guanabana, looks delicious!

Centipedes, though creepy, are quite beneficial. I don't know about out there, but here they help control the slug population as well as many other small insects.

Creepy is not a problem, but the venom is.

I've never seen a 12 inch centipede, but I've seen plenty of 10 inch ones.

Another reason I'm glad I only grow tropicals, not live in the tropics. Ours get a max 2-3 inches in length and I've thankfully never heard of someone getting bit out here.
