Centipes scolopendra morsitans

Centipede or centipedes are arthropods belonging to the Chilopoda class and Upafilum Myriapoda. The centipede is a metameric animal that has a pair of legs on each side of its body.

I took this picture on the trunk of a mango tree in front of the house, a very beautiful shape and I photographed it.

This species is very rare in our place especially in Aceh.
