YugiNoob 09/10/25 2:36:29 PM #1:	I found a tiny centipede in the office, and my coworker wants to keep him. Im not really sure what species he is, but the only thing I could find is that they eat fresh insect corpses and occasionally fruit. So here he is munching on a blueberry https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/b81c9124.jpg Does anyone know what type of centipede it is or have care tips? Its not visible, but its head is blue Oh, I think I found it: scolopendra subspinipes --- ( ^_^)/\(^_^ ) Maya High-Five! <cite>YugiNoob posted [p:986361068] in How to car...
