I have seen one of these in my life. I found it in my hair. I’m glad if already seen pictures of them on the Internet as the experience was already unpleasant enough when I could recognise what if found and knew it was harmless.
Fake, they’re government surveillance robots /j
The centipedes have learned to draw. Not gonna fool me.
Yeah so I’m not into feet either.
I call them eyelashes.
They are welcome in my home as long as they can find sustenance. My only rule is they are not permitted to shower with me.
Nope… Didn’t work. I still hate them.
I usually get these little dudes in the summer. I let them be when I can stomach it, but I have this one lamp at my desk pointed up at the wall to give me some indirect light. Occasionally a house centipede will crawl along in front of the light and cast a really long shadow to freak me the hell out.
If they would wear pants…
I just saw some this morning! the silly guy was in the middle of the aisle at work so I got him moving so he wouldnt get stepped on :3
When I was a kid there wasn’t awareness of house centipedes. I remember my first time seeing one as a kid, it was night time and I was home alone. Some of the most visceral fear of my life.
That’s honestly why they creep me out the most. Spiders will generally be chilling out in a corner somewhere you expect to see them, doing their own thing, and not moving much unless directly disturbed.
Most of my experiences with centipedes involves them darting out from under a baseboard at night and scaring the shit out of me when I’m only half awake. Then by the time I realize what it was, it’s already scrambled across the floor to disappear under some other piece of furniture.
They’re really skittish and will run away when I’m around, and tend to stay on the walls. Chances are you won’t ever touch them by accident.
So I’m fine sharing the house.
Also I never seen more than one at a time. It hardly feels like an invasion
They are cool friendly predators, but my cat is a bigger one.
That’s a spider orgy.
