Giant of the outback

Australia’s giant centipede (Ethmostigmus rubripes) is the country’s largest centipede, reaching up to 20 cm in length and armed with potent venom. This nocturnal predator is fast-moving, hunting insects, spiders, worms, snails, and even small vertebrates like frogs and lizards.
