   Alipes grandidieri, most commonly known as the feather-tail centipede, is a species of centipede. It is a member of the genus Alipes and the family Scolopendridae. The genus, Alipes, means "wing-leg". It was first described from Zanzibar, as Eucorybas Grandidieri [sic] by Hippolyte Lucas in 1864.
   
   It has distinctive, elongated ultimate legs with laterally-flattened pads on the distal portions, resembling feathers. When threatened they will shake these legs and make a hissing sound. The body is 10–15 cm long.
   
   If you are bitten by a Feather-Tail Centipede, prepare for the following consequences (we warn you, they are not deadly). Stings can be extremely painful and take a long time (1-2 days) to heal. The main symptoms that can be revealed right after the sting are a sharp and persistent pain; it can be insignificant or be a 10 on a scale of the pain of 1 to 10.
