At the time I photographed this guy, I was told it was an undescribed species. Not sure if that has changed or not.
 
That is an amazing looking centipede. I've only seen one Scolopendra myself, and it was nowhere near as pretty as this species.
 
I've seen dozens of centipedes myself, and none looked anywhere near this spectacular!
 
We get those big orange ones in our wood heap and they are one of the few things that really creep me out. Give me a huntsman any day. Even looking at the picture I've taken my feet off the ground.
 
This species is indeed yet to be described, but I think it is now referred to in captivity as Scolopendra sp. "Guangxi mint leg."
