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.

Cool. That's a house centipede. They hunt down and kill bugs and I've heard even mice. As far as I know, they're a "good" bug, if there is such a thing.

I've only ever seen one in real life. It was in a work building. They move like goddamn lightning, don't they?

How many have you seen?

Excuse me? That's dope, and terrifying.

I imagine they could easily take pinkies and hoppers right out of the nest. Who knows, maybe an adult?

The fossil record suggest the ancient mega-centepedes hunted fucking alligators.

I've had fun reading your bants btw, lmao, thanks man.

I've seen them twice since I moved in last fall, but it may be the same one.

Fast as hell.

First time I caught him in the middle of the living room floor, so I said, yeah you can live here, but give me my space.

Another guy was working with me inside a 10'x20' company outbuilding. I saw a little blur shoot across my boot. We both looked and saw nothing. Then it happened again, then again. Finally we located the thing upside down on a cable. We had never seen anything like it. I got a great picture of it. I'd say the body was 3" long with those legs making it look a lot bigger. We pretty much did nothing for the next couple hours except research what the hell it was.

They use those long antennas to hunt in the dark. But I think they also key off of vibration.

did nothing but research

I did the same thing when I found an "ant" with scorpion claws crawling on me. fucking spooky bugs, man.

You're very gracious, it would have to be me or him.
