Red centipede

Red centipede
Bullitt County, Kentucky, USA
March 30, 2016
Size: 25mm?
This centipede was doubled up so difficult to get a good estimate. It had very long antennae which differentiated it from some others that I have seen. I put the flat rock back over it without moving it.

I'm thinking a stone centipede,
perhaps Lithobius. I'm by no means an expert, but this might give you a place to start looking.
