QF WTF.

 

[thelanx]

Centipede maybe?

 

[Ikonomi]

I'd hate to have that in my bathroom.

Poisonous centipede. But that's a small one. You should see the foot long super poisonous centipedes in tropical areas.

after doing a little research on what carpenter ants look like, I take back my previous statement. Will now show that I have very little knowledge in the world of bugs.

Yep, I saw those occasionally at my old place.

That's a centipede. Contrary to popular belief, centipedes do not have 100 legs, they have about 42 - 46. House centipedes are not poisonous, we've found a few of those in our house and at school. They run like mad so you gotta make sure you kill em fast before they go hiding under your bed or something.

Centipede, had my apartment full of them once. Took a long time to get them under control (apartment management was lazy).

 

[dethman]

they are actually not the worst offender in the house.

They are one of the few things in nature able to eat cockroaches.

Read the link: they are poisonous.

It was in the bathroom because it likely came up through the tub drain. Get a drop in filter with holes large enough to drain, but small enough to keep the big vermin out.

 

[Sentinel]

those mofo's are NASTY!

 

[metalmania]

If they crawl on your skin while you are sleeping, man you are in serious trouble.

 

[LiekOMG]

Those things invade my basement during the summer. And yes, they run DAMNED fast!

 

[edro]

I've seen them in my old apartment... you'll be fine.

Centipedes are our friends, they kill all the bad bugs.



The wife got one in her mouth when she got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water and didn't check out the glass first.
