I can't locate this creature anywhere in any books. I can remember an orange centepede type thing about 12 to 16 inches long. Darn things lived inside damp sandbags. At each move, we would have to ash and trash the LZ. I can only recall getting bit, stung or whatever twice. But it felt like a jolt of electricity from my fingers to my shoulder. Anyone else remember them?

CENTEPEDES. I was a navy corpsman, I have been shot at bitten by a snake (scared the --it out of me). But a cetepede put the doc down for a couple of days. I picked up my shirt and a centepede bit me thru the shirt. I thought I had picked up a snake until I shooked it out of my shirt 10 in. at least

I like your story a bout the
centepede , In fact I was with the 27 th romen plow 67-69 in nam . I was tdy for a day , i had to push up a new burm for the ARV at this SF camp and what was left of it was some sand bage bunkers that Charely didn't quiet get . I was done and back up the slope and the women and men from that sit came in with hand hoes and did the finesh work to the edges on the in side, may be about fifty people . this all took about 10 minutes . Some one went in to what was left of one of those bunkers and the biggest red burnt orange centepede came running out like a train the dame thing was as big as my wrist and all of 10 inches long or more , there was not one person in there that wasn't running as though it was there life at stake,they were really carrying on screaming and all finally one of the ARV grabed a hand hoe and did the deed .
