Hemiscolopendra marginata

21 legs says tropical centipede without question.

blue coloration all the way down the sides, blue tips on the legs, and location in north carolina all lean toward H. marginata rather than Scolopendra viridis. So my non-expert opinion is yes.

What's up with the sudden abundance of H. marginata? Is it raining a lot in NC?
