notes:
|
Text states that there is a kind of centipede native to the West Indies whose bite is fatal. Centipedes are members of the genus Scolopendra, many of which are native to Central America and the Caribbean. The Carolina chatterer is actually the cedar waxwing, Bombycilla cedrorum, found throughout North and Central America.
