These are the: Red-Headed Centipede ( Scolopendra h. Attems listed three subspecies of Giant Desert Centipedes. I did read some medical articles that were published on the internet and one was a study of centipede envenomations in the United States. In 1931, a centipede taxonomist by the name of G. subspinipes from the tropics are reportedly as painful as a male platypus (some say they wouldn’t wish it on their enemies or would’ve rather cut the offending limb off) even morphine has little to no effect on the pain. Regardless, Scolopendras have some rather nasty venom and centipede size is often proportional to amount of venom injected, S. polymorpha here in the US as well but their color patterns are significantly different as far as I know. heros castaneiceps but the color pattern is almost reversed as they have a black body/tail with a red head, then again with centipedes and especially Scolopendras, color patterns aren’t the most reliable L Anyway, you should be safe to say it is a Scolopendra heros, we have S. Orangish-red body, yellow legs, black head and the submitter being from the desert southwest ( Arizona to be specific) it is a Scolopendra heros but I’m not sure on the subspecies. Scolopendra heros prismatica (Cragin, 1885) Scolopendra heros arizonensis (Kraepelin, 1903) Scolopendra heros, commonly known as the giant desert centipede, giant Sonoran centipede, Texas redheaded centipede, and giant redheaded centipede, is a species of North American centipede found in the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. Anyway, the main reason I’m sending you this email is that there is a picture of a centipede that you have listed as unidentified. Spent about 20 minutes looking through the beetle pictures and found it instantly helpful for a beetle my gf found in our apartment a couple days ago (false bombardier beetle, I forget the scientific name I’m better with tarantula/scorpion names). Hi, Great site! The link was posted on an arachnid (mostly couple subforums devoted to vertebrates, myriapods, and other insects) forum that I frequent ( Arachnoboards). Note: WE just received this letter with an identification. If it bites, you will probably have minor irritation because of the poison fangs. I don’t know your species but it is surely beautiful. He was admitted to an inpatient floor and was continued on intravenous clindamycin.Any ideas what type of centipede this is? Is is harmful? It was found in a garage in a subdivision about 20 miles south of Tucson, AZ. However, to cover possible infectious etiologies, he was given intravenous vancomycin in the emergency department. Given the acute onset of symptoms immediately after the sting, the lymphangitis and dermatitis were likely toxin related. The patient was given intravenous hydromorphone, diphenhydramine, and dexamethasone for symptom control. Laboratory analysis revealed a white blood cell count of 7.2/µL, an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 9 mm/h, a c-reactive protein level of 0.4 mg/L, a procalcitonin level of <0.10 µg/L, and no electrolyte abnormalities. A radiograph of the left hand was negative for acute abnormality. New pen markings were drawn surrounding the lymphangitis, as erythema had already surpassed initial pen markings by emergency medical services. In the emergency department, ice packs were applied to the involved area. The patient was noted to have 2 puncture marks to the palmar aspect of his left thumb and intact sensation and motor strength. He reported pain and swelling to his left hand, with redness tracking up his left medial arm ( Figure 2, Figure 3). The patient brought the centipede in a plastic bag, and it was identified as S heros, the Texas redheaded centipede ( Figure 1). Scolopendra heros Girard, 1853 in the Catalogue of Life based on A World Catalogue of Centipedes (Chilopoda) for the Web. It was found in a garage in a subdivision about 20 miles south of Tucson, AZ. A 79-year-old man arrived to the emergency department by emergency medical services 1.5 hours after a known centipede sting.
