Splendid scene. Are these pretty critters safe to handle or do they have an ornery (and painful) response?

Wonderful capture.

Would really love to see how your lighting is set up.

:D

they can just cause some pain - the venom is not so potent as in other scolopendras. So far, I wasn't bitten, but it's the matter of time. Hope it won't end up like that: [link]

This is a great series, do you have any shots of its mandibles from below for further study?

oh my good gods! i imagine they'd have just had to take that right off... looks like the infection would have spread pretty far though! isn't amazing how much affect one lil' (or maybe not so little!) spider's bite can have!
