    Default Those Multi eyes

    ID: Tiger centipede(Not sure if it belongs to Invertebrates)

    Spotted this mammoth beauty along the trail to Pariskshit point. Surprisingly it was a tad too sluggish, more as if its injured, and was least bothered by the crowd (read: group) around it and the lenses and flash popping around it. The inactive-ness of the beauty made me comfortable to go close and get an almost full frame tight frame of the front area of the centipede.

    EXIF:
    Canon 550D
    Canon 100mm macro
    F/9
    Shutterspeed 1/100
    ISO 800
    Handheld(kept on ground), Inbuilt flash fired

    This is lovely. Are you sure this was a tiger centipede? A full body shot would be good for reference.

    Yes, this is certainly an invertebrate. Do be careful with these guys, they appear sluggish but can quickly dart up to you, and they won't hesitate to defend themselves if provoked.
