I think Jade has been making some offerings to a fertility god or two. Not only has one of his scorpions recently reproduced, but check out the proud mommy centipede below!
Jade reports that since this photo the eggs have hatched, leaving the mom with a brood of pede-lings to care for, which she'll do for several months. I just have one question: what about daddy centipede? Dead beat.
Thanks for the photo, Jade.

As far the comments on the previous video go--who put a nickle in that guy's slot? No room to even post another PERTINENT comment there.

I hate to bring bad news, but she ate the babies before I had a chance to take them from her. :(

That is a bummer, Jade. Sorry about that.

Awh, I'm sad to hear that Jade.
