Scolopendra dehaani, the giant Vietnamese centipede, is a large scolopendrid centipede found across Mainland Southeast Asia.

[2][3] It is also found in India, Japan, Hong Kong, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

[5] Specimens usually have brownish-orange tergites (the hard plates on the tops of the segments) and yellow .

In a 2016 paper, the authors suggested S. dehaani has five distinct colour morphs: four were dichromatic, one other was monochromatic, and all were generally reddish, brown, or orange in coloration: [4] Scolopendra dehaani usually preys on smaller arthropods such as insects, spiders, and vinegaroons, but they have been found eating small snakes and other vertebrates, including, in one observation, a tree frog.

One paper suggested that S. dehaani forages arboreally, and it has even been recorded doing so in daytime.
