You’d shit yourself if you got stung by one.
I leaned up against a vine covered tree in VN, and as I pulled my hat off at the same time to mop my face, a foot-long centipede dropped onto my head. The tail end was draped across my right eye, and the head end bit deeply into the back of my neck, twice, bang bang. I dropped my hat off, snatched that thing off my head and threw it to the ground. It was like a red hot spike had been driven into my neck in two places. Far worse than any bee or scorpion sting I’d ever had. The guy standing next to me stomped on it and you could hear the shells breaking like a pile of hard candies. The two ends kept stinging and biting his boot as he ground it into the ground. I was able to drop my ruck, and knelt down to puke guts out.
The other medic came over but by then the pain was starting to fade.

I went for a drive today, hoping to get some decent photos of these mountains, but after a few snaps, my lens on the 5D started to throw fault codes, so I had to call it a day, so I couldn't get the planned photos to make a stacked pano photo.
A quick edit in Affinity to bring these up. I added some DOF focus shift on the mountains I aplty called "Booby Mountains" Gemini Mountains.

Valve keepers. They always seem to put extra valve keepers in OEM engines.
It's what happens when you get old and you turn too fast....
