I was pleased to come across this centipede
Stigmatogaster subterranea in leaf litter while gardening. I counted 79 leg segments - with a pair of legs each -, a normal number for this species, which can easily be the leggiest beast in the garden. Winter has been very long this year: no bees or butterflies, or even droneflies, and very few active invertebrates around, so BugBlog remains dormant, but hopefully not for long.
He is lovely! Ive never seen one that long before!
