Hello folks!
I know this is an insect/spider forum, but hopefully you will help me with this little myriapod.
I found this little guy in some moss in Washington DC, I have a couple of questions.
He's about 8mm long, looks like what seems to be a garden centipede or brown centipede. Is this right?
I have a moss aquarium garden with a thriving springtail colony in it to keep down mold, is there any reason why I should not add him? Any ideas how big (s)he will get?
Thanks
CWR
This appears to be a stone centipede (order Lithobiomorpha) in the family Lithobiidae. See http://s4.zetaboards.com/HerpinVerts/topic/110776/1/ for a care sheet.
