There's another vid on you tube of a giant centipede climbing up the wall
of a cave, hanging down from the top, and catching and eating a passing
bat....(!). In prehistoric times their ancestors grew up to at least a
couple of meters long. The ones in Vietnam are pretty poisonous and very
aggressive apparently, very unlikely to kill you but people who have been
bitten say it's wave after wave of agony...

I think I've found my new favourite insect, used to be the solifugid.
