RE: Cleaning up the compost heap, starring Cormocephalus nitidus and a stinkbug
Whoa epic i've never seen centipede eggs before. I think centipedes actually let their babies feed off of their own body once they are hatched... pretty trippy

It's also the first time I have seen them, I was looking at the arachnid forums which said that mothers may eat their offspring. There are some centipedes practicing maternal care but I don't think that Cormocephalus does so. She may also eat her eggs because I disturbed her :(
Kind of like gerbils lol.
Quite a few creatures do that when stressed
