Found it dead in my dishes
I think that’s HR Geiger’s pet prawn
I stayed a night in a dorm room before a bike race. I saw one of these before I went to sleep but couldn’t catch/kill it. I still slept like a baby.
Not sure whether to respect, fear, or worry about you.
the weak should fear the strong
I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.
I hear you get powers if you put it in your brain.
Don’t let it near your eye holes
Or ears

There’s one going around, I hear.
Drake got it, I believe
It’s not on fire.

Edit your post.
Oh ok thanks, i edited it. and I was wondering, why it doesnt show it (tried to upload it here first but got errors)
Thanks for taking the useful approach, rather than parroting the usual drivel
Edit It turns out they feed on bed bugs - surely that should sway a few people.
…And they can detach their legs? I want one!
Just so people who see them aren’t worried, they don’t just eat bed bugs. They will eat basically any insect that is smaller than they are up to and including spiders. I even saw one eating a yellowjacket once. So having house centipedes in your home doesn’t mean that you have bedbugs.
Yeah it means you have house centipedes which is only slightly less bad.
Very very very very wrong
Spiders are creepy but they’re not bad either. Get rid of flies and mosquitos
This advice may not apply to Australia but in general, it’s true.
Do those giant spiders even make webs?
Actually Huntsman’s don’t! They’re the big hairy brown ones that you’ve seen carrying mice on social media. They’re non-venemous and their whole schtick is that they run to catch their prey. They’re incredibly creepy but when I see one I cup+paper it and put it outside. It’ll probably find it’s way back in eventually but not before taking out a few insects in the process.
Underground ones sometimes.
I want one!
Don’t worry, you already have more than one, probably hiding in the walls.
Unless you live in a high rise building…
When I lived in a concrete high-rise, I never saw any centipedes. Now that I reside in a mostly wood/drywall house, I’ve seen at least three.
I lived in that high-rise for ~4 years, I’ve lived in this house for ~1 year.
I do what I can to leave the centipedes alone so they can do their thing. We also have spiders, which are all considered bro’s in our home.

I wish I had a few of those instead of a multitude of disgusting silverfish }:
Huh. So that’s why they’re found in Minecraft strongholds.
I’ve got regular silverfish in the bathroom, but gray silverfish (or paperfish as they are called here) in the rest of the house. Those things are larger and much more destructive, some found their way in my collection of sheet music… They literally eat their way through paper and even damage untreated wood, nasty critters. And worse, where ventilating your house helps against silverfish, it only seems to create even better living conditions for those buggers. I’d trade for house centipedes happily.
They only have six legs, so very uncool. Also, they’re jumpscare experts. Chillin’ on the frickin’ ceiling, in packs of toilet paper, my dirty laundry bin… I despise them for it.
From the wikipedia machine:
>They use both their mandibles and their legs for holding prey. This way they can deal with several small insects at the same time.Final boss energy
yeah it’s just zoomed in, discolored, and wet/squished. Poor thing. Theyre unnerving at first but once you get used to them you can think of them as eyelashes gliding around the floor.
that visualization doesn’t help, at all
Theyre just winking at you across the floor ;)
Thats a house centipede. Looks creepy, but its a nice house pet. It eats all of the other, undesireable, pests in your house.
It also keeps the house because I can’t look at it
Yep, they are pretty cool ! Until there is no other pests left…
Ok, thanks! Unfortunatelly this one doesnt qualify anymore as a pet but i am sure there are others around in the garden eg

People love to say that they are harmless. But then why give it the most harmful sounding name imaginable?
HUNTS
MAN
And not just the men. The women and children too!
I don’t like sand. It’s course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
You see, I think spiders are incredibly interesting animals. But I really can’t look at them. I guess my Mum screaming every time something with more than 4 legs appeared had a lasting impact on me. So having one next to me while I sleep is nightmare stuff to me.

Depends on the spider. I would not want something like a huntsman spider, but I don’t mind the small ones that just sit in their corner webbing.
I always say that I don’t mind spiders. They’re very respectful. They stay in their corner and eat the bugs I don’t like.
That’s the spider’s way of paying rent, in our household. If they come out into the spaces where we are, it goes against the rental agreement, and they are …evicted.
I too have the same policy in my house. Respect each other’s personal spaces, and we’re all good
When I was younger and I had roommates I hated it when they killed the house spiders. It was the reason we had so many other bugs. Once that roommate moved out, the rest of us stopped killing the spiders and after a burst of spiders the rest of the bugs were gone. House bugs are very creepy but they keep the bad house bugs away. Like bedbugs. Fuck bedbugs and the evolutionary niche they’ve crawled out from.
Does it come as good news that cockroaches are bedbug predators? Some real “pick your poison” shit, huh?
Honestly yeah, actually the building I previously moved out of had both. So I just kept very tidy by keeping everything they’d be attracted to sealed and away and left the cockroaches alone. It was a lot though, every night throw out all the garbage. Seal and put away all the food, if food can not be easily sealed put it in the fridge. Clean up all the crumbs and any drops of water on the floors, counters shelfs, ect. Lightly Borax the sinks, toilet, tubs. Then wake up, collect the ones that died overnight, clean up and go about my day. Oh and make sure you take apart then make your bed every morning and night to make sure nothing else crawled in there. They were never more than a small nuisance and I never had bedbugs compared to my neighbors. Yay adorable housing… So glad to be outta there.
Yay adorable housing…
This is centipede propaganda, long live the spider queen, death to the centipedes!
Looks like a house centipede to me. Something for scale would be useful
Hmm yes, could be, thanks! As i read, they do exist here where i live.
For scale: Small and big spoons…?
Gee! I didn’t notice the spoons until you mentioned it, sorry! Must be a very small centipede then. Fully grown ones are about 10cm long, and they are very, very, very very fast. (But harmless)
Ah ok! havent seen them around here alive anywhere, maybe cause they re nightactive, as i read… The spoons are not too obvious in the pic, so understandable. Thank you again for all the info
Neither did i, thought i was looking at a giant bug i hadn’t seen before!
Banana for scale. This isnt the dark ages
