One just ran right by me, out in the open, zipping across the floor at top speed.

They kind of freak me out.

Thing is, they eat everything else.

So I leave them be.

This one was fucking huge though.

He's got to be eating a lot to maintain that size.

I think they are called house centipedes.

This one was almost two inches long.

They normally don't come out when people are around.

This one is kinda bold.

I always called them silverfish, but maybe it's a regional term.

I guess cucumber is a deterrent? Idk. I used to have them when I lived in an apartment but I just ignored them, they seem harmless and they mostly hung out near the ceiling.

Silverfish is actually a different bug, and these guys eat them too.

Oh yeah you're right - I guess I had house centipedes then.

Sometimes I see these in pairs just chilling near a window, they don't move until I try to get them on a piece of paper to throw them out, fucking hobo centipedes.

That would make a hell of a mess. It's huge.

If its huge, fast moving, and has a shit ton of legs, squish it.
