Hi!

My mother used some insecticide in the bathroom, and today i found this dead in the floor.
What kind of insect is it?

Sorry about the crappy photos, i used my cellphone. The insect is 5 centimeters long, kind of flat,and dark brown.
(Im from Tabasco ,Mexico)

Looks like Scolopendra heros (castaniceps?). Not really sure of the subspecies, due to not making out the head color. Is it all one solid color? Also, the pesticide can alter coloration upon death.
