Giant tropical centipedes share their territories with tarantulas. Despite it’s impressive length, it’s a nimble navigator, And some can be highly venomous. As quick as lightning, just like the tarantula it’s killing, The centipede has two curved hollow fangs which inject paralyzing venom. Even tarantulas aren’t immune from an ambush. This centipede is a predator Centipede! Centipede! Centipede! Centipede! Centipede! Centipede!
