House centipedes may look like some prehistoric creature from the depths of hell, but really they're like spiders, they're your friends - they kill and eat bugs. You just don't see them as often because they're terrified of humans and zoom away at light speed when they see you.
I have learned to respect spiders in my house and leave them alone. Some time I even provide support or protection if needed.
But THAT thing? I would manually detonate a nuke in my house with my own hand if I ever saw one in my house.
I'm reflecting on how, to an ET alien, this thing probably doesn't look that dissimilar to a nude human being.
Well thank God for that
I love them
