It's actually quite a beautiful insect. If I had those in my house, I would catch them in a jar and release them outside, I wouldn't kill them.

They are NOT insects. If it does not have six legs and a head, thorax, and abdomen, it is NOT an insect.

The centipede might eat the silverfish, if you gave it a chance.

for the record, I do not like those things. The twitchin leg thing bugs the crap out of me. When I squash you I have an expectation you will stop moving and I don't like to be dissappointed.

As far as I'm concerned, they're beneficial to my household.

They eat spiders. I hate spiders.

I tried to get into my shower in the basement once. When I looked inside, there wasn't a centipede. There were like 4 OF THE DAMN THINGS. I screamed like a little girl. I cannot STAND them. They scare me sh1tless.
