They actualy do kill cows... they actualy crawl up a grazing cows nostrils and gets startled by this and stings the inside of the cows nose causing swelling and suffocation and there's actualy documented cacases of this happenening
@cacoseraph I uploaded a couple videos of a female Dasymutilla occidentalis (Linnaeus). As I said I would. They are on my Facebook and I tagged you in both.
@cacoseraph Haha I understand, Man. They are fast! And very quick to defend themselves... The stingers on them are unreal... Their stingers are very large and they have excellent control over them. The next time I find one (I see one ever few days) I'll capture it and record a video.
actually, i don't really keep centipedes at this time. i will bemoving to the ~midwest pretty soon and there are a few species i hope to catch and work with out there. they will all be little things, though. of course, i will hopefully still be going to bug group meetings and get to play with crazy stuff there :)

@cacoseraph Yeah we have the "Cow Killer" species here in Arkansas. They are much larger, have shorter hair, and are red and black in coloration.
