WTF is this?
Biscuit, the brown recluse.
house centipede
ty!
I HATE centipeades! (or however it's spelled)
oh my gosh, we have those everywhere in my house, they are a freakin' inch long or more and have quadrillions of legs....disgusting things
house centipede, they can get pretty big. and they sting/bite. theyre all ugly and shou;d fie by fire
tl;dr
ewwww
>>160806They certainly do NOT sting or bite. I handle them all the time and have never been stung or bitten once. If they bite you its because they don't like you, centipede hater.Plus they eat spiders and insects, and do a better job of it than the spiders, who are lazy assholes. Spiders don't catch bugs for shit, and all they do is suck out the good juices and leave the shells laying around. The centipedes eat the whole thing. Because they're awesome.Not to be confused with silverfish.
>>160841Yes, they definitely DO fucking bite. It's like a bee sting, and if you allergic to insect bites, you can be pretty fucked.
i'm originally from cali...moved over to boston to work.Saw one of these things and I almost shat bricks. Thank god the winter is right around the corner, though...they disappear until the spring comes back.
>>160875Not if your house is well-heated. Here in Manitoba, we have these bastards year 'round, and it gets really, really cold in winter.
>>160788My final form
We get those things around here once in a while. Sure they look creepy and the way they move is almost fluid which adds to the creep factor...but as stated above, they do eat other bugs, so I just leave them alone. It's the god damned FRUIT FLIES that I'm waging war against >:(
You handle them all the time, eh?Must not be the same thing I got, because their legs fall right off in a pile if I touch them. Also, I have a lot of them. Roach poison ain't helping.
>>161227Probably because they don't eat roach poison, you fucking retard. They are hunters, not scavengers like roaches. Christ.
theyre called silverfish, and here in DC they come in grey as well as red
>>161227See, you're too rough with them, that's why they bite you!
Not a silverfish.I'm sick of people telling others that house centipedes are silverfish.This is a silverfish.whatsthatbug.com is useful if anyone needs to identify a bug.
Spray them with insecticide and see those things convulse into pieces. My favorite deaths are when they run around losing legs left and right.
lol centipedes. milipedes are funnier when you spray em (more legs to lose. plus some will actually scream)
House centipedes are so incredibly awesome looking, and they do a great job of pest control. If you kill them, you are retarded 100%. They don't bite, they run away. You are huge, that means you have huge feet, run and hide!
>>161353>>161312Asshole! Those bugs are awesome!>>161354100% right.
>>161305Silverfish are neat like the unicorns of the insect world
I've been bitten twice on the shins by these fuckers, and it's an evil fucking bite. Nasty yellow pus and all.
house centipedes do bite like a motherfucker. If you see one, step on them. Ignore all comments claiming they "control other, more harmful insects". Just bring back DDT already.
>>161383You DO know why we don't use DDT anymore, right? Even in jest, that's a fucking stupid comment, especially on /an/.
