Centipede!

Posted by Wesley Fleming on 3/21/2009
Featured by Travis Weber

Inspired by a collection of bugs I bought down in Tucson in Feb - all encased in one HUGE block of lucite.

Made of Effetre glass over a GTT Phantom and measures 6" x 2.5" x 0.5".

And yes, it only has 42 legs! I always thought centipedes had 100 legs (right?) - had to count them 3 times on my specimen before I believed it LOL!
