God, I just spotted one of these fuckers crawling up my wall, and it went behind my Macross wallscroll and now I'm all skeeved out. I know they're nice, and eat other bugs, but argh.
oh my god i am so scared of those. they are fucking fast as shit. I'm a girl, not a gay dude, in case the tone of this reply was troubling you.
I find those all the time in my basement. Just kill em'.
Hey, it's that time of month again /an/! Another house centipede thread!
>>92304Shit, I'm sorry, I don't usually look at /an. ;_; Sageing self.
This weekend I cleaned my room and switched some furniture around, so I knew the spiders would be out in droves. I was falling asleep around three AM when I peered across the room and saw what appeared to be a large spider on the wall.I screamed like a little loli and tossed a shoe at it before I realized it was a scuff mark that had been covered by the old furniture. -.-
this pic may help clam your fears of those and now fear these muhahaha
Well not only do they eat bugs but they're pretty tasty themselves too, but think twice about eating them, because they're really useful if you have bug problems in your house.
Those things will crawl in your ear while you're asleep and eat your brain.
>>92321They're also mildly toxic.
>>92333Not enough to do any significant damage to humans
I think house centipedes are cute <3Ok they can make us think about spider because they are fast but... hey! they ARE cute!!!
omg!! WTF IS THAT ???
>>92327No sir, I believe you are thinking of Yeerks. Duh. Slugs, not bugs.Fools, the lot o' ya.
Here's one I saw once. I've seen bigger than this. They scare the shit out of you b/c they come out of nowhere. I usually just let them outside.
My mom has said she saw one of those that was approximately a foot long...I dunno if she's full of it or not. /an/'s thoughts?
>>92867She probably had it confused with my penis.
>>92867I read somewhere that they can get to be up to 16 inches long, but forgot where. Apparently that's exceedingly rare, and they're generally no longer than three or four inches, on average.
>>92878Why did I lol at something I totally saw coming?
>>92898I've heard most women say the average is usually around 5-6 not 3-4
whats the scientific name for these fuckers?
>>93177Big Leggy
Lepisma saccharina, commonly called a Silverfish
>>92898u mean my panis, rite?!
>>93214silverfish, eh?
no, they arent silverfish, but i dont know what exactly they are...
>>93217the part about 3-4 inches was indeed about your panis
