Chinese Red-Headed Centipede
This particular specie originated from Australasia and East Asia. It lives in a damp environment and can grow to an average of 20 centimeters. In ancient Chinese traditions, the Red-Headed Centipede is commonly used for healing rashes and other skin diseases. In Korea, they roast the centipede, pulverize it and used to treat furuncles, sores and back pain. However, these creatures are pretty aggressive. Female Chinese Red-Headed Centipedes are overprotective of their eggs, and if you try to disturb them, they’ll definitely bite and release their venom.
