Scolopendra heros aka giant desert centipede
S. heros is distinguished by its very large size and distinctive coloration. This coloration varies greatly across its range, resulting in three subspecies. This dude is Scolopendra heros castaneiceps (giant redheaded centipede) due to the red head and first few trunk segments, black trunk and yellow legs. The striking coloration of black and yellow or red nearly always indicates a warning, in this case a toxic and very painful bite!
