I hate icky bugs and spiders, that would have freaked me out, I had to kill a spider the other day and screamed for Cody to go flush it lol
Actually they dont, theyre water bugs. They dont have really big jaws unlike the orange centipedes you can find. But it doesnt keep them from scaring the heedy jeedys out of me whenever i see them run in front of me.Perefalcon said:they're house centipedes, and what's worse...they BITE
They feed on one specimen while holding the others with their quivering, lashing appendages (Lewis 1981).
lmao! agreed, imagine one of these things the size of a komodo dragon. scary thought.Milwaukee Reptiles said:Frmo the referenced article:

Gregg M said:Any centipede can bite but I have never heard of a bite and I have never been bitten.... I have caught these by hand on many occations.... They are absolutly harmless unless you are a bug.... They want nothing to do with human interaction and will do all they can to avoid people... When I see them, I leave them alone... Why??? Because they are good to have around.... They will eat escaped crickets or any other insect they come across.... But If my girlfriend sees them I have to catch them and take them outside....
I think they are pretty cool, actually....
