It's a common house centipede.

Generally good critters. They do bite though.

I know they're generally harmless (they eat bugs and won't bite you if you leave it alone) but they make my skin crawl and I can't help but kill them with extreme prejudice when I find one.

The big thing for me is it's a sign there are bugs for them to eat in your walls or house.

If it has more appendages than I do, I immediately dislike it.

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

You're just jealous that you don't have than many limbs.

I actually wonder if it becomes possible, how many people will get more hands

My person, arms and legs are both appendages. But now that you mention it.. is a trail an appendage?

[-] ahal@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

We got tail bones too, close enough.

Same. They're just too damn creepy to let live.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

Or at least, it was.

Not only do they bite, they are venomous. So if one does manage to bite you, it will hurt like a bitch.

On the other hand, one will most likely not bite you.
