Artist's Comments

I used bits from three books (Brehm's Zoology from 1890, a Russian book of invertebrates and Anatomy of arthorpods) I kind of grew with. The centipede is S.cingulata, a 15-cm specimen from Sicily.

i really like the colors of the centipede! and (off topic) you seem very knowledgeable about insects and centipedes and... crabs, so i have to ask you: have you ever encountered a water bug that looks like this centipede? its legs looked like feathery fins down the sides of its body. anyway, i saw a bunch of these in a lagoon/duck pond near my house a few years ago (the pond is connected to a bay) and my family and i have been wondering what they could possibly be...

I have never seen a centipede as beautiful as this one. The colours and pattern along its back looks like a vortex or the gateway to another dimension.

Absolutely stunning, shooting it on the book as background was a nice touch as well.

cool bug^^

isn't this guy very venomous? I remember to have red somewhere that people who has gotten bitten in the hand by this thing, have put the hand in boiling water to stop the unbelievable pain.
