Whoa! Centipede..

[remmuh]

Whoa... I caught a centipede in my house. At least i think it's a centipede!?
What should I do?
I hear they are venomous.

here's a pic.


I'm scared now.

[me!]

whoa, that's awesome! i've never seen one like that before.

squash it, man.

[krispy]

I see them in my house all the time. They are kinda creepy to see running around in the basement, even more creepy to see scatter past the television during the night. They live in damp areas and rarely will they actually look to bite you. I don't think they have any poison in them, but I'd like to know myself Believe it or not, they are actually beneficial in some ways as they eat smaller insects.

yeah they like dark places, kinda damp, like when you drop your clothes by the bed! I've even seen them climb walls.

That's a house centipede (very common) they are disgusting cause when you squish em, their legs tremble like crazy even if they are detached from the body.

and their LEGS still move even if they're broken off

What the hell.. thank god I don't live in your area.

Those things scare me shitless.. Even spiders do, let alone something like THAT.

(That thing does not look like a centipede, by the way)
