Species and fun facts: Scolopendromorpha
The Scolopendromorpha, also known as tropical centipedes, possess 21 or 23 body segments (apart from a single species, Scolopendropsis duplicata, which has 39 or 43 segments) with the same number of paired legs. Their antennae have 17 or more segments. The eyes have a fixed number of four ocelli on each side in the family Scolopendridae and one ocellus per side in the genus Mimops (family Mimopidae), but other families are blind. The order comprises the five families Cryptopidae, Scolopendridae, Mimopidae, Scolopocryptopidae, and Plutoniumidae. The only 2 known amphibious centipedes, Scolopendra cataracta and Scolopendra paradoxa belong to this order
Please note: Due to USPS shipping regulations the specimen will be shipped without alcohol. You can fill the jar with 70% Isopropyl alcohol which can be purchased at any grocery or drug store for approx. $2. at a Family Dollar or Dollar General Store.
*****Not all specimens come with a jar/container, please check the description. *****
The best selection of specimen jars and containers are at your local Hobby Lobby or Amazon.
The specimen will come in a bag with just a small amount of alcohol in it to make sure it does not dry in shipping. The specimen should be removed from the bag, added to your/the jar and filled with the 70 percent alcohol to the top of the specimen once you receive.
If you do not have alcohol readily available you may freeze/refrigerate the specimen, wrap the specimen in double freezer bags if freezing with no air in the specimen bag and thaw when you have your alcohol available.

Properly caring for your collection of jarred specimens is important, not just so they stay in good condition but also so that you don't burn your house down. NEVER store a wet specimen somewhere that is overly warm (a house in the summer with no air conditioning) and always keep them away from direct sunlight. Never ever ever smoke or burn candles nearby and never store your specimens near a heater or fireplace - they are extremely flammable!
