Those things freak me out. It takes every ounce of bravery for me to kill those fuckers. But I do. And for that I am strong, like bull!

I'm more familiar with the larger, leggier variety of house centipede (disgustibus maximus). They are scary fast.

Not that I'm familiar - I haven't seen one in years.

I don't know if that'd work for me. Might be good for hermits or reclusive types.

It's kind of the reverse of birds. Male birds come along, spot a nest of eggs, and masturbate furiously over it.

That is probably a mutated Flying squirrel.
It went through the teleportation machine from "The Fly" with a fly. So, its a squirrel Fly hybrid monster.

Holly Shnit that thing is scary looking


Caption says - Soldier in Vietnam holding giant centipede


Oh look, a fake picture. Complete with fake picture soldier background (because they're always war pictures to somehow make you accept ridiculous claims). Here is more the proper scale for a giant centipede.
