Topic: centipede preying on a caterpillar - video

[thifasmom]

monday i saw this caterpillar wiggling strangely and on closer inspection found a centipede hanging onto its backside. The tug of war lasted about three minutes and the centipede won, finally subduing the caterpillar with its poison.

can anyone figure out what type of caterpillar it is, there was so much wriggling i couldn't?
