Hey guys!

What do you think about the value of this one word .com?

Scolopendra is a gorgeous, well-known insect.

All major extensions are taken.

Thanks, Nick

Well, my first reaction was "I've never heard of it and I love researching animals, insects, etc". Also, only 27100 EM searches per month and only 403,000 Google results tells me its not so well known as you think. Still, it can have some value since it is a real insect.

The value of domains with animal or similar names is in brandability usually, not the animal itself (with obvious exceptions when it comes to pets like dogs/cats or animals with industries built around them or massive interest animals like whales/wolves - and even then the most value may be as a brand).

However, this insect is not very well known and incredibly hard to pronounce and 4 syllables - and even harder to remember/spell. Honestly, most of its value will be either novelty or more likely as an info site about the insect. Such an info site would not have great value.

Reseller: regfee - low $xx
Enduser: mid $xx - low $xxx

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the nice and large appraisal. I'm not a native English speaker and in my country almost everybody knows what is that on the picture.
How you call this in USA?

It's a type of centipede... and outside of people who heavily research them or study insects/have a degree in it, the term "Scolopendra" is completely unknown. I mean there might be a smaller locale that is familiar with the term, but in general we would just call it a centipede since it is a type of that.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! We call this type (just among people) Myriapoda (I checked Wiki for this word or scolopendra.
