Species 17 - Halophilus subterraneus

Due to the wind (again) I focussed on checking under pots and stones and, amongst a variety of interesting species came across this centipede adopting a distinctly defensive posture. It doesn't seem to have a common name and nor could I find that much information out other than it's fairly common and like other centipedes a very active hunter.

Whilst this wind continues I'll have to continue to lift stones for my post.
