Uh i showed a pede killing a red claw scorpion and a video remember????? Why bring up stuff i already countered?
What's the story behinf that pic anyway? Was the pede already dead? Was it ambushed?
ok, as I siad before the averge red scorpion is a 4-5 inches the averge emperor scorpion is nearly 8 inches, in my pic it was an Asian forest scorpion vs a vietnamese pede, both are smaller thna their largest counterparts so it was a fairer fight,
i get it u cna only ride so much on a pic but................. still I don't see why he'd favor the pede he didn't give an explanation so

Pretty much voids that other pic you showed though in terms of ability to kill each other.

it voids nothing, as fearsome as it looks it's really just a close up image, compare that to an adult emperor scorpion and you'll see what the pede killed was no more than a miniaturized version of the real monster that is pandinus Imperator

And that wasn't even a peruvian yellow leg centipede. It was a desert pede. So yes it does prove something.

Looks like a sub species of desert pede. Nothing solid though. Also remember at larger weights at parity, centipedes become dimentionally MUCH larger than scorpions.

there's no way that's a desert centipede, desert centipede's either have black heads like the heros species, or it had to be a common desert pede polymorpha and those are tiny

It's the malaysian cherry red centipede which is a desert pede subspecies. I looked it up.

They come in different tints. See for yourself.

Malaysian cherry red centipedes are most certainly not desert pedes. There are not even any deserts in Malaysia or South east Asia! The cherry red is a subspecies of Vietnamese centipede (Scolopendra subspinipes dehaani)

no wikipedia didn't if u go to the Vietnamese centipede search page they classify the cherry red as a subspecies of the Vietnamese. Also it doesn't take hardcore science to realize cherry red's aren't desert centipede's, I mean it's geographically impossible there no deserts in Malaysia

you're kidding me???????? Vietnamese centipede's belong to the species, Scolopendra subspinipes, desert centipedes belong to the species Scolopendra heros (or poloymorpha depending on your meaning of a true desert centipede)

How did you not figure that out? it would make no sense if they were the same thing

I'm too lazy to care about classifications on non raptor related debates.
