Cormocephalus aurantiipes, commonly known as the orange-footed centipede, [1] is a common species of centipede found throughout Australia, often confused with C. westwoodi . It can be found in every Australian state except Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Like most centipedes it comes in many different "colour forms", depending on locality.
C. aurantiipes is a medium-sized centipede, capable of reaching lengths of up to 140 millimetres (5.5 in), but more commonly found around 100 mm (3.9 in). [2] [3]
