Reviewing the House Centipede


While hanging in 'my nook' (A cool little part of church structure that I chill in sometimes that has wi-fi.) with my brother and a couple friends, we found and awesome bug known as a house centipede.
It's a really weird looking thing. It is real slender and has 15 pairs of hair-like legs. Let me tell ya, they are super fast runners. They like damp/dark places, and as there name suggests, commonly dwell in houses. You don't see 'em too often, but the are there.
Unlike the common bronze-colored typical centipede, the house centipede doesn't have much of a painful bite. Although they do have venom, they rarely can even break human skin with their small jaws. But they are effective at what they can bite. As strange and weird as they look, they are great for controlling other unwanted insects. They even can take out spiders.
So, them being real hard to find, one will make an awesome addition to my collection. And thanks to my bro, I got one. :D
