They don't scare you enough? Imagine them as Eldritch abominations.
Limousine spider.
They also appear to be smart, aggressive, and territorial. I have been chased by several. And I have run away with great haste.
Well I guess sleep is optional tonight
Odd, I've had several in my room in my last place, but they didn't seem territorial or aggressive to humans. Sometimes too close I'd worry I'd hurt it but other than that...
Limousine spider. Great! I'll never forget that anymore for life. Haha
Steal it just like I did.
I would far rather the spiders in my house eat these things.
A house centipede is just 4 spiders in a trench coat.
Straight up I leave Wolf Spiders alive for this goal.
I don't think they can. Once a centipede is of decent size I think it's much stronger than the average house Spider. Australia notwithstanding.
Why not both?
I doubt this will help my deep discomfort but it did make me happy :)
I think these bois, much like “spider crickets”, get a lot of flack because their legs are TOO DAMN LONG! They’re cool dudes, but something about those weirdly long legs…
Hey, they are the fluffiest critters ever among those that ran over me. They don't even tickle, just a smooth touch.
Developes feelings for the house centipedes
It's their suddenness that freaks me out. I had been sitting on my couch for two hours the other night when one scuttled out from beneath my feet!
this is why i respect web spinning spiders and jumping spiders (despite the name).
web spinners just spin their webs and sit there, they're in their lane and flourishing.
jumping spiders are smart enough to recognize that we are gods compared to them, and that we probably won't appreciate them making sudden fast movements.
nope doesnt help, imma get my flame thrower nevertheless
I was in college before I saw one. I grew up with giant 8" long centipedes, but this guy freaked me out more than I can say. Couldn't even tell it was a centipede. Might as well have been an alien.
Gag.
Freaky motherfookers
it's the legs and speed that do it, normal centipedes are plenty freaky but the fact that the legs are stubbier makes them much more managable, they're more like seeing a wild rat.
I didn't even know they existed until I had one in my apartment around 5 years ago. Now that I've bought a house I see them regularly in my basement.
Relieved, in this aspect, when I moved backed to land of the giant centipedes. Then, I got a bunch of barn boards to make dyi stuff. One came in on there, ran off, and started living around the back of my house. It was the only one around, so it never reproduced (I hope), but damn thing lived back there for years. Just happy it never decided to come inside.
all they need to do is stop being so scary and we can be chillin
Centipedes with legs? Believe it or not, straight to Dark Souls
YOU DIED
Skill issue!
I caught one trying to be in my bathroom and decided to be "nice" by tossing it into my basement.
Down there the entire floor had been sprayed with insect repellent from signs of fleas and roaches, there has been signs of mice and lord knows what else down there too.
2 days later I found it dead having made it all the way to the staircase. Definitely one of the strongest showings in the Gauntlet but not strong enough.
what the fuck are you gonna do the first time something makes it up the stairs? I hope you have a flamethrower ready.
That's so mean :'(
A few of these lithe fellows and Moria would still be the crowning jewel of the misty mountains
Now I’m packing my bugs for the misty mountains 🎶
I like them just the way they are.
It's cute.
Look at the cute rollerblades!
They are not 100% harmless than can and have bitten humans.
Side note, do not stomp AT them in bare feet (in an attempt to scare them off). They will attack your toes
Silverfish. They eat silverfish, and that is why I am on Team Silverware.
When you're a centipede, EVERY day is Leg Day!
The damn scolopendras have left mate of mine permanently scarred. They are the demon spawn of Bill Gates himself.
