Strigamia acuminata (Leach, 1814)
Described as local in the UK, Centipedes are a very neglected group of invertebrates and so the distribution map may actually be more representative of the distribution of recorders than Strigamia acuminata. This is an immediately distinctive bright orange/red Centipede when seen and is more likely to be found within leaf litter, than on the soil surface.
