I think that's the bug they put in Neo in the first Matrix film

Everyone is saying they're harmless, but we read house centipedes cam leave painful bites. I've never been bitten, that I know of, but when plagued with centipedes, I'd sometimes wake up with one of two types of mysterious bug bites: itchy, and painful. I know from prior experience that most North American spider bites are only ever itchy, so I always put the painful ones down to house centipedes. I can't prove it, though. Here are the facts I do know about house centipedes, from empiricle evidence:

• They like damp. You'll find them in damp spots, drains, around toilets, around damp areas in basements, etc. Not exclusively, but predominantly.
• They wage a secret war with spiders. Sometimes the spider wins, but usually the centipede does unless it gets trapped by a web.
• Alive, they move like the wind. Shockingly, alarmingly fast.
• When smacked, they explode into air and legs. So many legs, and not much else.
• Despite reports that they control other bugs, they are useless against real nuisance bugs like soldier and stink bugs. And for fly control, spiders do a better job. The only real thing we ever saw centipedes hunting were spiders.
• Small glue traps work really well at controlling them. I caution against large glue traps, as they might catch small rodentia, and if you want to know true horror, find a YouTube video of a mouse caught in a glue trap.

I'm team spider.

Thats a house centipede. Looks creepy, but its a nice house pet. It eats all of the other, undesireable, pests in your house.

That's a house centipede. They will leave you alone and eat lots of pests.

It's a common house centipede.

Generally good critters. They do bite though.

Forbidden shrimp

I think it's a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

My brother/sister in christ, have you considered nuking your neighborhood from orbit ?

Oh that’s no problem. Don’t worry about it.

Looks like a house centipede to me. Something for scale would be useful

It's a house centipede, which means you probably have an infestation somewhere. Poor thing just walked into the sink.

Whenever I hear my wife scream, I know it's another house centipede I need to trap and throw outside (or smash and kill if I'm pressed on time)

Looks like a dead centipede that got infected by a parasite in the legs

Do what I did and weld your house out of 20mm steel plate and have tightly controlled, thoroughly monitored and analyzed airflow, with a single two-stage entry hallway for washing off and inspecting your terran exploration suit and all acquisitions before entering your home.

I can pull a serious vacuum on this bitch, nothing's getting in unless I want it in.

Welp time to burn down the house

House centipede. They eat other bugs and while scary looking are harmless. They like spiders appear from time to time without anything being wrong. They’re just looking for other bugs to eat.

a good ol' centipede. they like crawling out of drains and usually completely harmless (they can bite afaik, but never happened to me, even though i liked to rip their legs off as a kid for some reason... also depends on the species)
this one is super chonky tho and has less legs then regular ones I've seen before... ~~probably American one~~ /s

I'm not an expert but it looks like a dead bug.

What’s the size scale here … is that corn??
