While hiking, we found one of the baddest bugs in Japan! This giant centipede is called the mukade, and can grow up to 9 inches long. Its venom is not lethal, but the sting is very painful and is likened to being shocked by a taser.If feeling threatened, mukade are extremely aggressive and can run VERY quickly. They are fearless and will put up quite a fight. Even when cut in half, each end can still function, and if squished it will release pheromones that will attract others.
