Martin Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/06/giant_bateating_centipede.php The centipede is 13 inches (35 centimeters) long and dwells in total darkness, in a cave in Venezuela. It lives by eating small bats It is early morning: bedtime for bats. The bats are returning to their cave where they will pass the daylight hours hanging from the ceiling. The movie shows the centipede as it is climbing up the wall of the cave and thence out onto the ceiling, where it waits for a bat to fly past. The movie shows the centipede catch a bat in flight.

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yipe. I wonder how hard it would be to squish one of those suckers when they sneak inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Reminds me of those presumptuous praying mantises: I'm sorry, but invertebrates have no business eating mammals and birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reor Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 What... is... that mantis... holding?... ??? Anyway. That centipede/bat movie makes it look smaller somehow, maybe, because its lack of colour. The other one with the mouse is more impressive. Really impressive. (DON'T LOOK, if you're soft-hearted!) Weird thing is i was afraid of small spiders that could do me absolutely no harm, but i'd even keep one of those murderous centipedes as a pet. I like their colours.
