Datheus Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 The board wasn't letting me post, but yes. /b/ just informed me that it's a house centipede. I don't like them much. They move too fast for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait.. I'm supposed to be doing school right now. Reminds me of this game. Also, I just looked up house centipedes: Dang! I've never seen that before.

MrWally Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 @ ET: Hah, same here. I assumed he was having computer trouble of some sort. @ IG: Daaang that's probably one of the coolest looking bugs I've ever seen. I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbers Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I read in one of my entomology books that some centipedes have painful bites. So I'd squish this one just to be careful. [/goes back into hiding] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR-0927 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Oh, and centipedes suck. We get some every once in a while in our basement. Those things smell HORRIBLE when killed (or bad in general). I'd advise you to kill them quickly and not let them touch you. Millipedes are harmless, but full-grown centipedes (South American type) can paralyze a full-grown man for several hours (it happened to my 9th grade Advanced Biology teacher when he was visiting South America). I wouldn't want to find out what the small ones can do (still something mean, I'm sure), as they are carnivores. - PR-0927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I wouldn't want to find out what the small ones can do (still something mean, I'm sure), as they are carnivores. At least now I have an idea for the box-office horror movie that's going to rake in millions to fuel my obscenely avaricious desires of wanton debauchery: Century of the Centipede.

And was immediately disappointed What he said, and the picture REALLY wasn't necessary, as the description freaked me out enough. Yes...Groovy, has acute arachnophobia, which can be both embarrassing and frustrating at the same time. No sleep for ME tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR-0927 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ah, yes, I too, Groovy, have arachnophobia. Except after lifting. Then I just have intense hatred of them and kill them violently without second thought. And yes, that picture was scary and unnecessary. Kill the beasts. Oh, and I read that house centipedes like to produce offspring in the spring. It's spring, so I'd advise you to get rid of 'em ASAP - terminators can be useful. - PR-0927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Research indicates that this kind of centipede does not have a bite that can break the skin. Largely harmless and will eat bugs and spiders. I normally kill them since I find them in the bathroom and can easily clean the mess up, but this one was actually snuggling with mein girlfriend on the couch. She trapped it in a glass and left it sitting on the table. Rather than chase it around the living room, I just tossed it outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
