Our family gets bigger!

This cute little guy is a Cormocephalus hartmeyeri (centipede) and will be staying with us for a little while. We found him just wandering along a path while we were up at Gingin. He’s about 15cm (7 inches) long and has a delightful poisonous bite, so he doesn’t get many cuddles. He’s visiting the kids’ schools, which their teachers are not too thrilled about. The fearless Carina performed the species identification which involved a lot of close inspection.

So far we’ve discovered that he loves to eat chicken and slaters (pill bugs). We’ve nicknamed him, “Mr Bitey”.

Cormocephalus hartmeyeri: We found this cute little guy wandering along the path while we were out this weekend. He's staying with us at home for a little while.
