Giant Redheaded Centipede Photo Goes Viral, Horrifies the Internet. Fix on site 0800429429, Dr Mobiles Limited

You don't have to be a Kardashian to stand out on the Internet — all you need is at least 20 pairs of bright-yellow legs, a gleaming red head and venomous fangs.

Last week, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) posted a picture of a giant redheaded centipede to its social media pages that met all of the above criteria. The image quickly went viral. While many people reacted with horror (apparently, giant, colorful centipedes are the stuff of nightmares), this critter doesn't eat people or seriously harm them in any way (at least not usually).

However, giant redheaded centipedes (Scolopendra heros) — which can be found in certain regions of the southern United States and northern Mexico — do take people by surprise fairly often, said Ben Hutchins, an invertebrate biologist with the TPWD. [Gallery: Out-of-This-World Images of Insects]

In a 2014 article published in TP&W magazine, Hutchins explained that S. heros typically hangs out under rocks, logs or leaves. But sometimes, these centipedeswander into people's homes, where they can cause panic, thanks to their 8-inch-long (20 centimeters) bodies and dozens of legs (they typically have 21 to 23 pairs). The critters use their many appendages to grasp prey while feeding.

Though S. heros mainly munches on invertebrates like insects and arachnids, the impressively sized centipede is also known to take down larger prey, such as rodents, snakes, lizards, toads and other small vertebrates. In captivity, giant redheaded centipedes seem to prefer eating moths, according to the University of Arkansas Arthropod Museum.

The critter kills its victims using its "fangs," or forcipules, which are located near its mouth and contain venom glands that inject a toxin into its unlucky prey. The giant redheaded centipede is also thought to inject venom into prey with its many legs, which can make tiny incisions in human skin, according to the Arthropod Museum.

When one of these giant creepy-crawlies bites a human, the result is usually pretty painful, according to both the Arthropod Museum and Hutchins. Victims of these centipede bites report localized pain and swelling, but Hutchins said people also have reported skin necrosis (tissue death), dizziness, nausea and headaches, Hutchins wrote in his article.

Hutchins also lists muscle tissue damage, kidney failure and heart attack as rare side effects of the centipede's nibble. A case report published in 2006 in the Emergency Medical Journal cites a bite from a centipede, likely of the genus Scolopendra, as the cause of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) in an otherwise healthy 20-year-old man. Whether a giant redheaded centipede was responsible for that unfortunate event isn't stated in the report.

Should you happen upon one of these giant centipedes, pay attention to its colorful body parts. Known as aposematic coloration, or warning coloration, the critter's bright colors serve to warn predators that, while S. heros might look tasty, it's really a poisonous treat. Consider yourself warned.

Weird News: Retired copper finds road rules lost in translation

Roebourne Police pulled over an ex-Italian police officer earlier this afternoon.

A retired Italian policeman drove right into a spot of bother on his holiday down under when his European driving drew the attention of Roebourne officers on Friday afternoon.

The tourist, in his 60's, had been driving on the left side of the road on his trip from Karratha to Hedland but was confused by the traffic islands on the main street of Roebourne where he wound up in the right hand lane.

Local police pulled him over and were soon embroiled in a humorous back and forth over Australian road rules.

Police told him he was driving on the wrong side and he needed to be on the "right (correct) side" only adding to his confusion.

They eventually broke through the cultural barrier and sent him on his way.

Bungling escaped criminal's bizarre Facebook video rant showing where he is leads to re-arrest

Taulbee was originally at the courthouse on charges of probation violation, escape, robbery and resisting arrest  If you're an escaped prisoner on the run, it might be best to keep a low profile.  But not if you're Justin Taulbee, who escaped from the Breathitt County Courthouse in Kentucky last week while waiting to be arraigned.  Rather than go into hiding, Taulbee instead made a bizarre video rant, in which he introduced himself and claimed he was released on his own recognizance.  The clip was posted on Facebook with Taulbee tagged in. Helpfully, the location of where the video was shot - Red River Gorge - was also included.  In the video, Taulbee says: Justin Taulbee coming at you live, a new release coming soon to theaters near you.

"Now as you know on 10/9, 2015, which was this past Friday, I was released from the Breathitt County judicial center on a R-O-R bond.

"For those of you who does not know what that means, it is "released on your own f****** recognizance."  He becomes increasingly more animated, and says at one point: "You may think the court's held and adjourned, but I think it's held in f****** contempt.  "Throw your hammers away you heavy hitters."

Police saw the clip and went to Taulbee's house a few days later. they found him in bed with his girlfriend and re-arrested him.  Kentucky State Police Trooper Joe Veenemen told WKYT : "He asked if someone had turned him in.

"The trooper advised the reason he was able to locate him was because of the video he had posted on Facebook.  "Once the trooper told him that he didn't believe it."

Taulbee was originally at the courthouse on charges of probation violation, escape, robbery and resisting arrest.  An escape charge has been added to his case.
