Residents of moderate latitudes probably came across a creature, which in everyday life is called the waist. In any case, heard him. Those who are slightly "promoted" in biology, call the Multicacked Multious Sorry. She has a rather bad fame: they say, it hurts hurt, even dangerous for a person. The scientific name of the Sorrystroke - Skolendra. The dangerous of the choppedra, the photo of the insect - all this can be found in our article.

Insect or not insect

The view is that the cholepores are insects are incredibly distributed, sometimes it can be found even in relatively serious sources. Apparently, here played a role and some external similarity And the fact that these animals refer to arthropod. And for some reason they are associated with insects for some reason.

In fact, not all arthropods are insects, remember at least crustaceans. Skolenders are multi-digging; A special absenteeism, which biologists are called "nursing" in relation to insect. That is, they are close "relatives", but it is impossible to call the choleporend.

Brief biological description

So, we dealt with the taxonomy of Skolopield. It remains to describe them, although it is very difficult. The fact is that the choppedder in the world is about 600 species, and sometimes they differ significantly from each other.

The overwhelming number of species lives in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Earth, where winter is never happening. In the same place, "in warm", the largest individuals, for example, a giant Australian Skolendra, capable of growing up to 30 cm long. She even attacks small chicks and toads!

Types inhabiting in moderate latitudes, much smaller, usually no more than 8 - 12 cm. In countries former Union They are found in the south: in Central Asia, Transcaucasia, even in Crimea and Stavropol. However, some, the smallest species can be found right up to the Moscow region, although in these parts they are rare.

In all the choppedder, an elongated body resembling a worm, with an abundance of tiny legs. The front pair of legs at the scrolophedr was reborn in claws, which are called a naughty. In these curls there are ducts for the passage of a poisonous liquid.

All scolepaders are mainly underground, hidden lifestyle. They do not see anything, distinguishing only day or night. Under Earth, this agile animal successfully hunts to worms, larvae, small beetles, using ready-made moves for movement. Although it is capable and herself to break through their minks!

At dusk, the scolenders often go to the surface, hunting for small insects. They are very hidden, love to hide under the stones, in the crevices of the earth. This instinct often drives them into the housing of a person, especially in the tents, under the awn.

Almost all scolepaders in the world of poisonous. In addition to the fact that they are capable of touching the fabric, injecting poison through the clouds, animals have both special poisonous discharges. For example, one of the species living in Vietnam, running over the skin, highlights a special fluid that literally reaches the skin at the point of contact. Approximately the same reaction in humans and contact with California Skolendra.

The species living in moderate latitudes are not so dangerous, if only because they are much smaller. Nevertheless, the bite of "our" scrolls is very painful, it can be compared with the horshum bite. The striking place blushes, swelling, hurts for a long time.

Also, there is a wax in the skin, leaves the red stripes. But this does not always happen, but only when the animal feels danger. Rumors that, after the bite, the Sorry-Troops people die are very exaggerated. Probably, they are based on those deaths that, although extremely rare, occur in the tropical regions.

How to avoid contact with chopped

This animal is afraid of man and never attacks him specifically. To avoid bite, you need to comply with the elementary rules:

  1. Watching a tent before bedtime, sticking it to the snake in those places where there are a lot of fortyoplooke.
  2. In the morning, dressed, carefully inspect clothes and shoes.
  3. Be careful, turning the stones, pieces of trees: all items where the choppedra can hide.

If the bite happened, quickly rinse the place with water, perfectly wipe with alcohol (ethyl alcohol is an antidote for poison Skolopieldr). If the pain is severe, impose a cold bandage. Abundantly drink, move less. In the overwhelming majority of cases this happens enough. If the temperature rose - you need to contact the doctors.

Thus, we saw the photo of the "insect" Skolopendra, learned what it was dangerous. As it often happens, they made sure that the rumors about the deadly danger of the choppedr are largely exaggerated. For sure, if we talk about familiar to our latitudes.

This carciro-alcohol is absolutely unpleasant. In the afternoon, she sits under the stones, and at night crawling on the surface. But even at this time, the choppedra feels uncomfortable on the surface: it runs fussy and strives to hide.

The most unpleasant thing is that for a person Skolendra is unsafe, and people are not afraid of people, even on the contrary, it often covers to the house or in tents to tourists. This vestrike usually does not bite, but if it runs through the body, it remains unpleasant slime on the skin. Although there are also aggressive representatives, mostly are tropical scrolls.

Skolendra - a representative of multi-nonexid, similar to a long dark brown, sometimes with a greenish tinge of a worm with large quantity legs. In Australia and in South America Huge choppeders of purple, red and yellow color live. The limb choppedder has a bright orange color. Length - up to 15 cm. The largest representative of the choppedder lives in Australia - this is a giant choppedder, which can grow up to 30 cm. She was attacked by even attacks on the toads, lizards and chicks.

One pair of legs turned into all the choppeddr in his clouds with curls, connected to poisonous glands. And the rear pair - in special soluch legs, which help the animal to cling to the lumps of the soil.

It is known about 600 species Skolendr. Basically, these are the tropical species that are the most poisonous: from burns derived from tropical scrolopieldr,

An adult healthy person can be killed. In Russia, the scrolls occur only in the south, but they are all almost harmless. A lot of choppedder lives in the Crimea, on the Mediterranean and in the Transcaucasus. Undressed underground, it is more agreed than on the surface: runs on minks of other animals or herself breaks through their moves with the help of numerous legs. Skolopendra dwells underground not only because she is more comfortable there, and because her body is deprived of some special coverage and she very quickly loses moisture that under the ground it does not threaten: there is a constant humidity. All choppeders are warm-loving, the temperature below zero degrees may just destroy.

Skolendra hunts on small invertebrates - earthworms, beetles and their larvae, spiders. If it goes to the surface, it can catch the OS and flies. But after all, Skolopendra gives preference to livestock living underground. In the process of hunting, multi-naughty relies only on its touch - the main sense for the chopped. Their vision is poorly developed, or rather, to say that it is not developed at all, because most of the time they are carried out underground. They only distinguish light and darkness.

The sacrifice of Skolopendra is enough with the front legs and poisonous in it is stuffed. Then begins to chew, sending pieces of food into a wide throat. Eats choppedrand pretty slow and long.

Skolenders by nature individualists live strictly alone. Fights between them happen extremely rare, but if it happens, the fight is not on life, but to death. The rivals are admitted to each other and freeze in this position until one of them dies.

Scrolls multiply in the middle of spring. Among them are very common, the phenomenon of the parthorezine is very common, that is, when the female itself is involved in the fertilization of eggs. A few weeks later, tiny worms, which are growing very rapidly. For several days, the mother guards them, but then she crawls, and each newly new Skolendra begins an independent life. By the way, compared to other insects, these multicacies are real long-livers. At least in captivity they live up to 7 years.

Skolenders are dangerous for a person, but in different species, this danger is manifested in different ways.

For example, a representative of the blind Skolendr - Skiptopus - cannot contact the skin, as it has very weak jaws. But if you crush the scolendrore, its remains are very toxic. Bird, which by negligence will eat the blind scroll, dies in a few hours.

California green choppedrand, if it is disturbed, it is distinguished by a substance that is very irritating the skin. In addition, it can scratch the skin too much if it runs through the body. By the way, the collected choppedra, who lives on the southern coast, also leaves burns, in the form of small red spots. True, the burn passes in a few hours. Vietnamese Skolopendra highlights mucus with the smell of phosphorus - it causes the strongest burns and skin inflammation.

It is impossible to call the scolendrore very aggressive. Protecting, the scrolopendra can bounce high and deftly move, but it is possible to get a burn or bite, only when you take an insect in the hands or multihair saming myself to a house or a tent. In the latter case, the scolender can not be noticed and accidentally add. Skolendra may run through the body of a person and not harm him - everything depends on her own desire. Skolopendra poison spends economically and rarely bites. Much worse with the burning mucus, which remains after the insect.

In humans, their bites cause a local tumor and pain, continuing usually 1-2 hours. If choppedra is large tropical viewThese phenomena can hold a few days. In some cases, an increase in temperature is observed, a feverish state begins.

For an adult healthy person, the choppedder is not fatal, although it causes incredible flour. But if the victim is a child or, let's say, it has a weakened organism, a bad heart, then the case may end with death.

No first aid measures, in the event of a bite or burn poison, the scrolls, no. You can wipe the affected alcohol and impose a sterile bandage, but even if the pain began to merry, it is still mandatory to contact the nearest hospital, since the symptoms can repeat.

Length: up to 30 cm
Habitat: Australia, South America, Crimea, Mediterranean and Transcaucasia.

The gigantic choppedra refers to the genus of the magnifier of multi-pointed, the family of choleporen. It is a night arthropod, which most of their lives are carried out underground. They are loners, but if you encounter similar, then they are usually sprawling in different directions.

In rare cases, they show aggression and bite each other, in this case the meeting for one side ends with death. Particularly considered females.

At night, the multicacies go hunting for invertebrates and their larvae, there are cases of attack on lizards, small birds, even bats. They kill the sacrifice, spit into her body to poisonous jaws and wrapping their long body.

The period of reproduction is the end of the spring - the beginning of summer, usually, these creatures are laying off eggs after mating, some species can multiply without the participation of males.

Natural enemy in nature - cats, foxes, rats, gri, gecko and snakes.

Appearance

The body length of the giant scrolls on average is 26 cm, it is divided into the head and long, consisting of a set (21-23) segments of the case. On the head there are novels, equipped with poisonous spikes.

Her eyes have a simple structure, so they see bad, his eyesight replaces the touch and smell. Each body segment has a pair of legs, the rear pair is dragging, clinging to the cloves of the land, helping, thus, when driving.

Color depends on the habitat: from lemon yellow to red-brown, in some countries the color can be green or blue shades.

Habitat area

As already mentioned, the scolepaders spend most of the time under the ground in the hole, besides this, their favorite places are a shadow under stones, fallen trees, in the rocks. They prefer to live in subtropical and tropical climates With good air humidity. Giant individuals live in South America, on Jamaica, Trinidad Island.

Types of Skolendrend

Rocky - 14-17 cm long, can be black, olive shade, orange and brownish. The species is common in Turkey, Spain, Italy, in the south of France, in Israel, Crimea, North Africa.
- up to 18 cm, lives in Central America, in the Virgin and Hawaiian Islands, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Bahamas, in Dominican Republic, on the Antille Islands, in the north of South America. Color: Black Head, the body is dark green with a blue tint, in other individuals of the head of red, the body of olive.
- Up to 20 cm, color: burgundy with brown, yellow-green, orange, red. Live in North America.
- up to 13 cm, orange, yellow or olive color, head and finiteness of red, distributed in the United States, on the territory of Algeria.
- Up to 13 cm, in the pet stores they are presented as the "Texas Tiger", "striped tiger". Lives in North America, has a bright diverse color.
- About 20 cm, inhabit the tropics of Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, color orange-brown.

Did you know? Scientists of antiquities, such as Aristotle, Claudius Elyan, Andreydi Ulysses, described the scrolls as a terrible sea \u200b\u200bmonster With hairy nostrils, sizes with whale.

In the captivity of many-seven years old, they breed well, but young people preferably decorate, as cases of cannibalism are seen.

Food

Multalone diet:

  • frosthed mice
  • crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches;
  • shrimps, sea scallops;
  • small fish.

Important! At home, Skolopendra is almost omnivorous, however, more than five, for example, the crickets per week can not be given, due to the characteristics of the digestion.

Arrarium arrangement

For the ward you need to choose a terrarium, which will significantly exceed its length, approximate dimensions, not counting the height of the soil, 30x40x30 cm. As a soil - peat and sand, it is desirable for living plants, you can arrange a couple major stones and corporate.

The top of the terrarium should be closed so that the petomica does not run away. Be sure to put the capacity with water, the depth should allow the multicacious to plunge into the water, but not drown. Detention temperature: +25 ° С ... + 27 ° С. To maintain the necessary humidity, part of the substrate must be regularly moistened.

rules

Skolendra is not the pet that you can caress, iron and squeeze. Not possessing good eyesight, she can perceive you as an enemy and bite. The bite it is not fatal for a person, but very painful. Its poison causes swelling, temperature and fever symptoms. The mucus, which it highlights from the glands, is also poisonous, it causes skin burn.

Important! Since the effect of the poison is destroyed under the influence of high temperatures and ether, it should be immediately handled the bite or burn with alcohol, it is possible to displaced by a solution of manganese and impose a sterile bandage, after the doctor must appear.

Skolendra and man

Multalone poison is used in China medicine in the treatment of rheumatic pain, skin diseases, kidneys. In the kitchen of some Asian and african countries Skolendra, striking on a wand and roasted, - Delicates for tourists, the usual dish for local.

The deadly outcomes after the bite of the articraft was not registered, except for one case in the Philippines. There from poison died seven-year-old child, bite fell in mind. From this we can conclude: the danger still exists if the injured is weakened or not enough immunity, it is susceptible to allergic reactions if it does not have qualified assistance in time.

Did you know? In China, there is a legend of the King Dragon Moon-Wan. One day he fell ill, and no one could heal it until one of the drugs found the scroll for the scales of the dragon. The doctor removed the multicast and smeared the burn of the ointment, as a sign of gratitude, the king of the dragons promised to send fertile weather to people. Until now, healing day is celebrated annually in China, during the holiday, the dragon dance must be performed.

The passion for exotic can lead to unwanted consequences, therefore, before you make such pets like Skolendra, you should think well. If you still decide, keep safety measures in behavior with such home "animals."

Nature is surprisingly diverse. A huge number of bizarre, beautiful or terrible animals and insects live on our planet. They need an ecosystem to maintain a certain balance in nature. Multicacies play their own role. They relate to the genus of Lyubogih, the detachment of the chopped. Skolendra is predatory, poisonous insectwho is not afraid of people, but prefers not to meet with them in good wax. They can have different size.

Habitat

Description and photos of the scolenders can be seen on the site. It is desirable to make it to those people who are going to travel warm or tropical countries. It is there that the multicaps and tropical choppedra are growing to gigantic sizes and represent a real danger to humans. The length of their body reaches 26-30 cm. There are individuals and up to 45-50 cm. Therefore, the question of where the scolenders dwell is interesting for humans. They can be found on the Islands of Jamaica, Trinidad, in the north and west of South America.

On a note!

These multicacies are common in the tropics and subtropics, since they are thermal-loving. There are about 600 species of the choppedder and only a few varieties are found in Southern Europe, areas of the Mediterranean, Transcaucasia, Central and South Asia, in the Far East.

Basically, real scolepaders are found in the upper layers of the soil, under the stones lying on the logs, in the crevices of rocks and other secluded corners, where moisture remains in the hottime, and no one can disturb them. There is a natural question about whether it is possible to poisonous multicacies to meet in places with a colder climate and if yes, where it lives in Russia predatory insect. Exist different types Insects, some of which live in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Varieties of predators


Typical representatives of this detachment of multi-indoor are the collected choppedrand, California and Skolendra Lucas. But there are other varieties of these predators who are their closest relatives.

  • California. It has green color And refers to the giants, since its body size reaches 20 centimeters. It lives in the arid areas of Mexico and the United States. Dangerous Skolendra is dangerous for a person in normal condition you can make sure, watching the predator in wildlife. In a relaxed atmosphere, no threat is not a threat, but in case of danger, running by numerous legs on the skin of a person causes inflammation in the place of emergence of contact. Registered for all time only one death case of a seven-year-old child in the Philippines from the bite of this poisonous scolenderer.
  • Ring Multalone. It is found in Mediterranean countries, Southern Europe, North Africa, in southern Region Russia. It is widespread in the Crimea. The body length ranges from 14 to 17 centimeters. Painted choppedrand in a beautiful golden yellow color, but also poisonous, like her relatives.
  • Vietnamese. This representative is distinguished by the release of a luminous liquid, smelling phosphorus, which greatly burns the skin and causes inflammation. Bite insect Scolopendra Subspinipes forms a wound to 1.5 cm in diameter and 5 mm depth. Toxin is similar to the poison of viper. The wound is long bleeding, since, together with the poison, a special substance is injected that prevents the collapse of blood. There is an increase in temperature to 39-40 degrees and an increase in the busting limb several times. A victim to a person must urgently give an anti-allergic agent and take the nearest hospital.
  • African choppedrand. It can create a rear leg noise in the form of a rift and cod to scare up enemies. The individuals themselves do not react in any way.
  • Blind poisonous scrolls Cryptops (Cryptops) live in the upper layers of the soil. They, like mole, practically do not appear on the surface. These small choppeddr of yellow-brown color 3-4 cm long can be found in the steppe regions and on garden sites Even in Moscow latitudes. They do not pose a danger, since a weak jaw apparatus cannot contact human skin. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe tropics, there are a variety of types of these insects that are painted in different colors, ranging from green and ending with purple shades.
  • Kostyanki (Lithobiomorpha) are small modestists Skolopield. They may randomly with fruit get into the stomach or cover the sleeping person in the nose, ear, but it happens very rarely. Basically meet in cities near raw foundations.
  • Skutigera ColeOptrata (Scutigera Coleoptrata) has 15 pairs of long legs and long mustache. Skolendra insect night, but this view can be seen in the afternoon on the wall of the house. Hunting on flies and other small insects. It is better to carry dry air, although at the hottest daytime tries to hide in shelter. Skolendra of this species is capable of being active at more low temperaturesWhat provides her advantages in the hunt in front of other insects. Today it is rarely found in the Crimea. Black Skolendra also belongs to the Skutiger class.

Appearance

See how the choleporendra looks like, you can on colorful photos. It consists of a head and a long body divided into 21 or 23 parts. Each segment has a 2.5 cm of light yellow with a pointed spike at the end. Poisonous iron is in each leg.

The rear pair of legs differs from all the other large size and backward. It helps the multicoral to move well in the ground and hold in the right position during the hunt.


The insect is often called the wax and choppedra. But how correct it is from a scientific point of view, it is difficult for a person to disassemble in this matter. So the difference in the choppedra from the forty-skinned - based on the name of the people extinguishing, has forty feet. But in reality these insects owners from 15 to 171 pairs of paws.

On a note!

Multonyzzles always have an odd number of feet pairs, so in real life Sorrystops are not found. Predators run very quickly, they can even bounce, trying to hide from the enemy.

Multious head is a plate with eyes, two-minded and front legs, which turned into a nobility consisting of 6 parts. The extreme segment is a sharp claw, bent inside and connected to a canal of a poisonous gland. Through the hole in COGTE, a toxin will be released, which paralyzes the victim. There is a completely natural question about how dangerous choppedra. After her bite, a person has a strong pain, a tumor, numbness and inflammation appear at the bite point. Pain syndrome is saved from two hours to several days.

Reproduction and nutrition

Multicap is a predator and a good hunter. Therefore, it is clear how the choppedra is powered. Like any predator, she eats small worms, larvae of beetles, flies, insects. Large individuals are capable of attacking small lizards, frogs, birds, mice, snakes and even volatile mice.

Interesting!

Eating scrolls for a long time, carefully digesting food and interrupting the meal several times during the entire process of food absorption. A major prey can eat for several days.


The reproduction of the choppedder occurs in warm time of the year. This period lasts from the end of the spring before the start of summer. The male closes the entrance to his housing of the web and puts the sperm pouch on it, called spermatophore. Then the female is crawling over this bag, capturing it for the fertilization of eggs. In Crimea, there are parthenogenetically in the Crimea.

The female is manifest maternal instinct, Protecting pending eggs for several weeks, clasping their legs. At this time, it distinguishes substances protecting on the development of mold. After the appearance of young offspring, the female leaves. Skolenders are born white and soft, then they melt several times, they darken and start an independent life. Multicacies live 1-2 years old, major conifers can live up to 7 years, usually in captivity.

In Russia, there are many-facets that do not pose such a threat as tropical representatives. The homemade choppedra, who lives in the human dwelling, is almost harmless. It even benefits, drinking flies, mole, cockroaches, bedbugs, ants. It reaches a length of 2-6 cm. Biting scrolophendra only for self-defense. The jaw is very weak and can not contact the skin of a person. But if it all happens, the predator bite is the same painful as a bee.

In order not to get an infection with nipples of multi-popes into the wound, the place of bite needs to be treated with ammonic alcohol, a mortar of manganese and drink an anti-allergic drug.


Methods of struggle

Skolendra homemade, whose photo can be viewed on the site, enlightens wet, warm, dark rooms with sufficient food, suitable temperature. It is very difficult for mechanical way, since the flat shape of the body and the shell is securely protected from external influence.

Modern insecticides of a wide range of action are used to combat home scrolopandra, folk remedies, such as the: boric acid, Cayensky burning pepper and uses the help of professionals. But most importantly - you need to remove the reasons because of which multicacies appeared:

  • get rid of mold and humidity in the house;
  • close all the slots in the windows, doors and floors;
  • bring order in a residential room;
  • remove other insects.

Some lovers of exotic want to have at home. Those who wish to acquire such a pet need to know all necessary information Before you dare to such an act:

  • how much is choppedder;
  • in what conditions it is contained;
  • what respect precautions;
  • than feed.

Then the owner and the scolendrore will be comfortable and safely coexist.

Skolendra - Multonoja, and if you put it more precisely, articular. They live in all climatic regions, but giant Skolendru You can only meet in the tropics, especially big skolendre Like to live in Seychellesthe local climate is suitable for her.

These creatures overeat forest arrays, mountain peaks, dry sultry deserts, rocky caves. As a rule, the varieties of inhabiting zones with temperate climates do not reach large sizes. Their length fluctuates in the range from 1 cm to 10 cm.

And the scolepaders preferring to live in the resort tropical areas are simply gigantic, according to the measures of many-ones, sizes - up to 30 cm - agree, impressive! In this sense, the inhabitants of our country were lucky, because, for example, crimean scrolls, do not reach such impressive sizes.

Being predatory representatives of multi-facets of this species, live a mansion, and they don't like to live a big and friendly family. In the afternoon, it is rare to meet the scolendrore, because she prefers a nightlife and it is after sunset that she feels on our planet hostess.

On the photo Crimean Skolendra

I don't like the multi-ninexins in a heat, and the rainy days they also do not complain, so for our comfortable stay, they choose people's homes, mainly dark cool basements.

The structure of the scolenders is quite interesting. The torso is easy to visually sharing on the main parts - the head and body of the body. The body of the insect, covered with a solid shell, is divided into segments, which, as usual 21-23.

Interestingly, on the first segments there are no legs and in addition, the color in this part differs significantly from all others. On the head of the scolenders, the first pair of legs includes also the functions of the jaws.

At the tips of each leg, the scrolls eat a sharp spike that is saturated with poison. In addition, poisonous mucus fills all the inner space of the insect body. To allow the insect to come into contact with human skin undesirable. If the scrolophendra disturbed will crap onto a person and runs over unprotected skin, strong irritation will appear.

We continue to study the anatomy. For instance, giant Skolendruwhich lives for the most part in South America, nature has endorsed very "slender" and long legs. Their height reaches 2.5 cm or more.

The most major representatives inhabiting european plain, recognized ring choppedersThey can often be found in the Crimea. Insect head, which is more reminded creepy monster From a nightmare or horror film, equipped with strong jaws full of poison.

In the photo Giant Skolendra

Such a device is excellent weapon And it helps the multicast to hunt not only on small insects, but also to attack the volatile mice, which are much larger than Skolopendra herself. Attacking the extraction of large sizes allows the scollower the last pair of legs, which it uses as a brake - a kind of anchor.

As for the color color, here nature did not bore on shades and painted the scrolopieldr in a wide variety of bright colors. Insects are redhead, copper, greenish, saturated violet, cherry, yellow, turning into lemon. As well as orange colors and other colors. However, the color may vary depending on the habitat and insect age.

Character and lifestyle scrolls

Skolendra is not a friendly character, rather it can be attributed to the evil, dangerous and incredibly nervous mind. Increased nervousness of Skolopieldra because they are not endowed with urgency and color perception of the picture - the eyes of multi-indoor can only distinguish bright light And complete darkness. That is why Skolendra behaves extremely carefully and is ready to attack anyone who distorts it.

It is not necessary to tease the hungry scolendrore, because when she wants to eat, she is very aggressive. Run from the multicacifractions the case is not easy. The dexterity and mobility of the insect can be envied. Among other things, the multi-naked is constantly hungry, she ticks something all the time, and all because of digestive systemwhich she has a primitive.

Interesting fact : Once the researchers watched as chinese redhead choppedraAfter having bought the battlefish, for three incomplete hours digested a third dinner.

For most people, due to admission, a false idea of \u200b\u200bthe fact that Skolendra has a potent poison and therefore dangerous for man. But this is rooted incorrectly. Basically the poison of these insects is not more dangerous than poison bees or wasps.

Although the sake of fairness should be noted that pain syndrome bite big scroloponders Comparison pain with 20 bite bees produced simultaneously. Bite Skolendryrepresents serious danger for manif it is inclined to allergic reactions.

If a person buses a choppedder, then it is necessary to impose a tight harness above the wounds, and the place of bite is treated with an alkaline solution of food soda. After providing first medical care You should go to the hospital to exclude the development of allergies.

It is interesting: to people who have unbearable permanent pains can help a molecule mined from poison Skolopieldr. Pain medicine was able to find scientists from Australia in the poison contained at chinese chinese. Now from poison of predatory arthropods produce a substance that is used in a number of analgesics and antids.

Nutrition scroloponders

Earlier it was already mentioned that the scrolls are predators. In the wild, these insects prefer for dinner small invertebrates of fauna, but gigantic individuals include in their diet, small rodents. They also prefer frogs as a French delicacy.

Tip: Ring Skolendra Compared to relatives from the tropics has less dangerous poison. Therefore, lovers who wish to keep these cute forty-dogs at home should first buy a less dangerous for man to buy a scrolstrome.

Then, having acquainted closer with this God's creation, you can buy a domestic pet largest. Skolenders in nature cannibals, so contain homemade choppedder Preferably in different containers, otherwise the one who strives is stronger than a weak relative.

In captivity, the choice of Skolendr is small, so they gladly taste all that they will offer a caring owner. I am pleased to be bored and cricket, and cockroaches, and a flour worm. In general, for insect medium size, it is enough to eat and seek 5 crickets. Interesting observation, if the choppedra refuses meals, it means that the time of molts came.

If I was a speech about Link, then you should know that Skolendra can change the old exoskeleton to a new one, especially in cases where it decides to grow in size. The fact is that the exoskeleton consists of chitin, and this component from nature is not endowed with the gift of stretching - it is non-living, so it turns out that if you want to become more, you need to throw off the old robe and change it to the new one. Young lens once every two months, and adult individuals twice a year.

Reproduction and life expectancy scrolls

Ring Skolendra It becomes half the crew for 2 years. The act of copulation of adults is preferred to perform in the night silence so that no one has disrupted their idyll. The male at the sexual act is capable of producing a cocoon, which is placed in the last segment.

On the photo laying eggs Skolendra

In this cocoon, seed liquid is collected - spermatophore. The female will lie down to the chosen one, pulls the seed fluid into the hole called sex. After mating after a few months, Mamas-Skolopendra lays eggs. It can make masonry up to 120 eggs. After that, it must take some more time - 2-3 months and the "cute" babies appear on the light.

Special tenderness of the scolepaders do not differ, and since they are prone to cannibalism, often after giving birth to Mamasha can taste his offspring, and the kids growing slightly, able to enjoy their mother.

Therefore, when the choppedra reproduces young, it is better to squint to another terrarium. In captivity, the scoleponders can please their owners of 7-8 years, and after that they leave this world.
