I took this pic of a Bue Kingfisher devouring a 6 inch centipede in front of my house. I believe a centipede's bite is very painfull and can kill a baby child so does anyone know why this bird can withstand its bites ?

Birds probably know to grab these things by the head and kill them, thereby rendering them harmless. Plus their feathers probably protect them.

Although I did read somewhere that centipedes can sting from any leg, so I might be wrong.
