Found this eastern red centipede coiled around her eggs while I was out looking for millipedes today (mander.xyz)

I believe this is Scolopocryptops sexspinosus, the eastern red centipede. Females protect the clutch from predators and mold spores, and some species also protect young after they hatch.
