Since my zoology posts have recently been gaining traction on my account, I'd like to take a leap and publish an old video that I believe supports my hypothesis that arthropods (and potentially all invertebrates) are capable of entering states of REM sleep, and therefore have the capability to dream. I've had this hypothesis since I've recorded this footage of my old centipede, Tambora Naga (Scolopendra subsinepes) in June of 2023, but was met with skepticism and doubt... until this study was recently popularized by TikTok and Instagram users who are fascinated with jumping spiders.

In this footage, Tambora can be seen asleep twitching and moving several of her appendages: her forcipules (often called the 'jaws'), the tip of her antennae, and even a fierce kick from one of her back legs. This can be compared to behaviors in terrestrial vertebrates - organisms that are capable of REM sleep (and dreaming) - where limbs may move and/or curl.

Now almost two years after this footage was taken, I've finally successfully transferred to a 4-year university where I am completing my bachelors of the sciences and potential masters in environmental biology to study the intelligence and psychology of arthropods and invertebrates. I hope that continued research of my own and others can help prove the theory that these animals have much more going on behind the scenes.

I am also working to study venomous invertebrates and the medical potential of animals such as centipedes and scorpions, but that is besides the point.

Tambora unfortunately passed away of a presumed age-related death, and since then, I have owned a handful of centipedes but have failed to document this exact behavior. I'm currently trying to replicate this behavior in Madagascar hissing roaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) and Purple pincher hermit crabs (Coenobita clypeatus).
