So I was going to contradict you, but apparently here there are three different insects commonly called centipede and that one is a "house centipede". what i know as a centipede is a "garden centipede"

That freaky thing LJ put up there gives me nightmares. 12 years ago, I lived in a very old apartment whose bathroom had these coming out the vent. I had to go across the hall to get my neighbor to kill them for me they scared me so much. For some reason spiders don't do much for me, though. While some people find the need to shriek and in my stepdaughter's case, bring her feet up stomping on the dashboard while I am driving the vehicle, I am not afraid of the spiders. Just wrecks.

House Centipede The house centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata, is the only species capable of reproducing in homes and is often seen in and around homes where dampness occurs. The house centipede is active at night, moving about in search of cockroaches and other insects. Although centipedes rarely bite, are seldom dangerous and are beneficial because they destroy other insects, most people have an aversion to their presence inside their homes.

Wonder what that feels like for the lizard. When it sheds its tail. Often wondered that.
Disturbs the hell out of me the whole shedding limbs thing. Soo alien. Dropping the little legs also has creep out factor bigstyle. *suppreses a slight shudder*

And off-balance, like when you cut your hair from really long to really short.

To set the record straight... we have only had 2 roaches make their way into our house since we bought it 3 1/2 years ago... we see them outside during a good rain... and I'm sure that's how it made its way in... I was needless to say... horrified... in Texas if you live near trees or water... you have em... doesn't matter how clean you are.

Stay away from Georgia palmettos if you can't stand roaches. They own the domain. And will make you aware of it, too. If one gets up on a wall, use a long weapon to oust him. He will almost surely fly right in your face. Bestids.
