Some of biggest centipedes I've seen, 3 under one rock, one would've been about 12cm

The Cormocephalus genus includes some very big centipedes here in Australia, some on an island near Norfolk Island live on seabird chicks. They can be good mothers though and one of your photos is a great shot of a mother protecting her young
