They’re just too damn creepy for me. I’m sorry, guys, my primitive brain has been programmed to have a strong response to seeing something like you. You understand. squish
Every time I see these, I remind myself they don’t want to be around me and they eat cockroaches, bed bugs, and termites (and other yucky stuff I don’t like).
The creepiness increases tenfold when you encounter one for the first time and it is as scared of you then you are scared of it. Those little guys are very fast.
When I learned that they are harmless to us humans I started to tolerate them. I mean they really try to get out of our way.
House centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrata) are equally as beneficial as they are creepy.
I’ll take the ants and flies, thanks. If I have this in my house, it’s likely I loose my home to fire
Nah screw that, flies actually buzz around you, ants steal your food. I’ll take these silvertales any day, thank you!
As the one time owner of a 100 yo house in the Midwest I say this: fuck no.

Damn they give me the heebie jeebies though.
