I HATE BUGS!

[Anubis]

they get up to about 2 or 2.5" long and are faster than Michael Jackson on his way to Xiety's house for some lovin'

hahahah yea this fusker was fast as hell. i almost missed him

 

[samgau]

I used to kill them.... but they eat spiders and I pick them over spiders.... only kill em if I see them in my kids' bedroom....

 

[yhelothar]

Why not kill them? Aren't centipedes one of the most poisonous bugs?

 

[nageov3t]

I hate bugs. the fact that they're completely indifferent to the existance of humans really bothers me.

I saw one of those scurrying around the kitchen floor a few weeks ago. dang things are fast... but I killed it good! 🙂

That's a silverfish. They're like cockroaches- they eat dead things and carry disease. They're also wicked fast. Not an easy thing to kill....you get 20 points 🙂

Huh, if we're talking about the OP, that's a centipede. It eats other bugs. Everybody freaks out them, but they keep all the bad bugs out.

I don't like those bugs. They are a predatory centipede. They are very fast and they wriggle after you smush them... blech.

More info.

Although house centipedes are not aggressive, and their jaws are not powerful enough to break human skin easily, they will sometimes bite in self-defense. Severe swelling and pain can result from the venom injected, but in most cases the bite is no worse than the sting of a bee.

well.. my ass would not let bees in the house, so these things wouldnt be allowed in either

But bees can be aggressive.

These won't bother you unless you bother them.

In captivity, house centipedes feed readily on cockroach nymphs, flies, moths, bedbugs, crickets, silverfish, earwigs, and other insects and small spiders.

Sounds good to me.

Besides, I find the baby ones cute for some reason.. lol

That one is poisonest. And also you notice it's leg is shorter. The long leg one isn't poisonest.

These short legs are along the line of scorpian. They will get into shoes and stuff and if you not careful they will bite you and hospital time.

awww! :Q
DIE BITCH! :|

You are highly disturbed.

Although I think this is pretty cool:

They capture prey by half pouncing and half lassoing them. They can capture several prey items at one time. They feed on one specimen while holding the others with their quivering, lashing appendages

They are 'good' for a house in moderation. They will control worse pests. Once I start SEEING them though, everything gets a good cleaning...

completely agree. no need to kill it.

 

[Azraele]

Well that's a perfectly acceptable reason. :disgust:
