Flameipedes are a deadly insect that have been known to be used as a lethal weapon by a scientist in Russia. The scientist is known to have mutated the once-friendly insect to a deadly scare and have reproduced enough to be able to take over towns and villages.
The appearance of the Flameipede is not very basic, in fact it is the opposite. Scientists in London have examined the insect and found out that it is not like other creepy crawlies with exoskeletons. It’s shell does not come off, but grows slowly with the insect itself. Containing a row of perfect, blood-red circles on it’s back, the Flameipede is much easier to spot during daytime due to these spots. These creatures are deaf and can only sense anything by minuscule vibrations of it’s prey.
However, majority of Russia’s population have decided not to pay much attention and have been attacked by the creature. The insects inject venom into a human by crawling onto a human and touching it’s skin – when the Flameipede can sense a heartbeat, it lets venom seep out of tiny pores (too little to be seen by a microscope) on it’s feet. The effects of being injected by a Flameipede are fatal – or kill. If the venom doesn’t kill you, then you would faint, have seizures and blood clots regularly. Astonishingly, though the effects are so bad – about one percent of the world’s population has enough immunity to make the effects go away,
So, now you know enough – keep safe, will you?
