Tears flow from tear glands into your eyes through tiny tear ducts. The tear glands are located under your upper lids, and when stimulated, produce tears to form a thin film over your eyeballs. Every time you blink the film spreads over your eyes to keep them moist and free of dust and other irritants.
Scolopendra (through Latin from Greek ÏÎºÎ¿Î»ÏÏÎµÎ½Î´ÏÎ±, skolopendra) is a species-rich genus of often very large centipedes of the family Scolopendridae.
Just when you thought it was safe to go in the waterâlook out for giant, swimming centipedes! Scientists have recently described the worldâs first known amphibious centipede. It belongs to a group of giant centipedes called Scolopendra and grows up to 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) long. Like all centipedes, it is venomous and carnivorous. Thankfully, this new water-loving species appears to live only in Southeast Asia.
