Field notes
The design shows a centipede with a glossy red-orange body coiled into a ring, with pale yellow young curled inside it. On the back the whole ring is seen from above; on the chest a smaller view of the mother's head and legs holding the brood.
Scolopendromorph centipedes guard their eggs and young by coiling around them, with the back of the body facing outwards, a posture that keeps the brood off the soil. The mother stays with the eggs until they hatch.
It is an illustration, not an identification guide, and nothing here is advice about handling or keeping any animal. Part of the WildLifeThings Microcosm collection.
