The rainforest is riddled with entrances to the underworld. From one dark gash, like some mythical monster, comes a stripe tailed centipede. A hyperactive hunter, ploughing through the forest on 22 pairs of legs.

Portuguese translation:centopéia-de-cauda-listrada ou lacraia-de-cauda-listrada
Explanation:
Como o texto refere-se a um nome popular específico e não à qualquer espécie de lacraia em geral, o ideal é que também apareça assim no texto traduzido. Lembrando que o ideal é colocar o nome entre aspas para mostrar que trata-se de uma adaptação do nome popular original.
