11005-14504 Brown centipede (Lithobius forficatus) a common European centipede introduced into NZ. Found in the upper layers of the soil, under rocks and rotting logs. Readily identified by its reaction to being revealed, which is to run extremely quickly for cover, whereas the large native centipede (Cormocephalus rubriceps), tends to just 'sit'. Broad Bay, Dunedin *
11005-14007 Giant centipede, or hara (Cormocephalus rubriceps). We share this large native centipede (capable of growing to 15cm), with Australia. These animals normally feed on soft-bodied invertebrates, but are capable of killing and eating reptiles, such as this gecko, or even baby birds *
11005-13001 Millipede ( Eumastigonus sp.) common in forests and gardens under bark and in decaying leaves throughout New Zealand. Movement is sluggish, and at rest they usually coil themselves into a flat spiral *
