Author's notes

Sorry about the insect category Kim; I thought you might be the best person to look at it and there doesn't seem to be a relevant slot for centipedes. They are typically about 100mm long and we find them pretty regularly in the wood pile.

Sorry I can't do much with centipedes at this stage, Max. I hope to find someone to help me with them.

Thanks Paul. I've dusted off another sighting from 6 months back: Unidentified on 12 Jul 2018
I've suggested Rhysida nuda as it looks very similar to the above.

Yep, it’s also Rhysida nuda, Max.

Thanks Max. Yes, that’s the key I’ve been using to identify the centipedes. It turns out I was previously making a mistake on a character that lead me to the wrong subfamily.
