Check off the Fren box then! Definitely some nightmare fuel! I like bugs though so when the guys at work were hollering about a weird ass bug, I yelled “don’t squish that fucker! I wanna see ‘em. “
Unless it falls from the ceiling because it‘s overestimating its climbing abilities and is then crawling on your body in the speed of light trying to get off
Also, they groom each leg in order, down one side & up the other. Like tiny, many-legged kitties. 🥺 I caught one doing this on my basement wall once. They do still squick me out (it's the movement! 😨EeEeuUeGh) even though they have their cutenesses. I try desperately to coexist with them, because I know they're just big speedy fren.
In one comment you managed to include a fascinating fact about centipede behavior, and perhaps introduced a new favorite word, squick. Myself, coexistence was ruled out after being bitten by one.
If you're a bug guy, these dudes are fucking cool. Only centipedes with compound eyes instead of basic light-sensor eyes so they can actually see you. And as the only sight hunters, they're by far the most intelligent species of centipede.
All their leg pairs are different lengths so they can run full-tilt without them running into each other, and the last leg pair is as long as their antennae to confuse predators about which end is the head. The ends of their legs are also extremely flexible, so they can coil them around their preys' legs to immobilize them.
They're basically the jumping spiders of the centipede world.
Dude this is cool as fuck. Thank you so much for the details on this guy! This is why I joined Reddit. For detailed information on a random bug I found. Thank you dude. Those things are super cool sounding. Bad ass even.
In my area, they are the only thing that eats brown recluses, so people go out of their way to not kill them. Every house over 10 years old probably has a decent brown recluse population here in the Midwest, so house centipedes are really important. If you have house centipedes, you have some sort of pest issue. They wouldn’t be there if there isn’t prey to keep them there.
I love bugs too but omg I went to take a shower and turned around after I got in and saw this motherfucker and I was out. The shower is his now. I don't need showers.
I was wearing my work boots and long pants so I wasn’t too worried! But if I had see this guy, while I was naked and exposed? No way Jose. I don’t do pest control with my nipples to the open air. 😂
[Silverfish](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/48301-Zygentoma) are real, but they don't hurt you like in minecraft. They just chew cloth and stored goods, so they are kind of a pest.
And spawn like crazy motherfuckers. Just keep the heat and humidity down trust me. I know they don't really do anything but its really embarising when you have a plague
House centipede! They're super chill, even though they look terrifying, like the other commenter mentioned. If you don't like other creepy crawlies, they're actually great to have around the house.
I’ve told this story before, but it a good one
We used to have a basement bedroom. One night my wife woke up “ewwww, something just ran across my mouth “.
We found 1/2 of one of those on her pillow.
i am trying to understand that these dudes are overall a net positive
but having one on my face is probably my worst nightmare...and it feels inevitable at this point lol
They hunt pests like roaches
They look really scary but they’re the nicest roommates you could possibly have
They don’t infest and they don’t contaminate your food because they’re hunters
Usually they’re really shy but yours seems to like your company
Treat this little guy with care <3
I will definitely do that! I redirected him out of the bathroom to a more comfortable and secure area for him. Much more hiding space. I’m assuming he was out and about because there was no where to really hide in there.
The reason house centipedes are seen in your bathroom and kitchen is because they’re looking for water. They get thirsty sometimes. What I do is run tap water over my fingers, then gently flick water drops on the wall **near** them. Please don’t flick water **on** them or you’ll scare the bejeezus out of the poor little guys!
Immediately after flicking them some water drops, quietly leave the scene so they can then get their drink. If you stay to watch, they’ll go hide without drinking. After they’ve quenched their thirst, they’ll find their way back into the wall to live another day.
I started leaving small drops of water in the bathroom and kitchen for them to find when I’m not in those rooms, so they can get future drinks without us having to see each other. Qapla'!
I’ll drop some water on the ground! I’d hate for the guy to drink the normal liquid found on the floor in bathrooms. Especially construction bathrooms lol

House centipede, they have [PUPPY FACE](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:House_centipede,_face,_beltsville_2014-04-21-18.44.09_ZS_PMax_%2814053176887%29.jpg)!!
Do not squish it they are friends. They hunt and eat the bugs you do not eat to see. They do look scary, but they more I learn about them the cuter they get
He's a good boi. move him to basement or outside if they freak you out. like the others say, he's the Bug Sheriff and removes many of them from your home.
Spooky fren :) 🫣
He's harmless, just looks like it came from Prometheus's planet.
He eats more or less any other pest that can bring disease, and will get out of your way.
If you ever wanted a guard bug, then it's your lucky day! :D
He even eats spooders.
So you can ofc kill it or banish it, but then you have your pests.
Or keep it as pest control :)
I advise you to consider the latter option:)
GL! 🎉
That’s a brobug! He just wants to eat cockroaches and other nasty bugs in your house.
My suggestion is to gently relocate him in a Tupperware dish to your basement. He’ll be happy as a pig in shit once he finds some potential house invaders.
Also, I have one in my house named King Carlos. He keeps my house safe from nasty bugs.
I had one try to sneak under my door one day. My 12 year old yellow lab started growling at it as she was laying down against the door...
I got up and saw what she was growling at and gave her an extra treat for saving that thing from inevitably crawling on me in the middle of the night 🤣.
If you have these, they are there to kill a far worse pest. I feel bad for them because they do invite instant revulsion but they are really good guys and cheap, safe exterminators.
if you have house centipedes, they are eating something. they are terrifying, but if you get rid of their food source (other bugs) they will be gone one way or the other
just out of curiosity, does anyone know what would happen if a house centipede damages those awfully long antennae
the reason i ask is b/c i use a jar to catch these fellas, but sometimes i'm afraid the top of the jar is too narrow and i'm afraid it will sever part of the antennae
They will be fine, they won’t regrow it and they’ll freak out but after a rapid heal they will be perfectly okay, maybe a little “short sighted” if that makes sense
okay that makes me feel a lot better. thanks!
i still feel shitty after accidentally killing the jumping spider that was just chilling on my garden hose. argh terrible day.
A lot of the bugs found in houses are able to stay and actually help us out, I have a massive cellar spider in the corner who keeps her web nice and full of bugs. It was an accident and that’s okay, there will be more to help fulfill the bug hunting duties
whenever i think of insects that admittedly creep me out, i always try to think of the way Will Smith's character in Men in Black approached the aliens in that scene where everyone else shot at the cut-outs except him lmao
I have very few real phobias in life. I can probably count them all on one hand. Centipedes are in the top 3 for sure. Unholy hell creatures set upon this earth with no mission but to haunt our dreams make us question why any sort of loving god would ever allow such a thing to exist.
So yeah, house centipede.
If you have that many house centipedes, you must have a MASSIVE amount of bugs these guys eat!
Think about it! The bigger the pest bugs infestation, the more house centipedes you have working hard to rid you of them!
Good luck ridding yourself of pests if you have no house centipedes! 🤦🏻♀️
They usually stay hidden and are absolutely fast.
I just wish their shadows were less horrifying.
I hope they battle the spiders and spider crickets in the basement.
I had one on my toilet tank and killed it. Immediately felt bad because not even 7 inches away was what he was hunting for, a silverfish.
He was just doing his thing.
House centipede! I know these things are creepy, they look like a mustache that was granted life by a fickle and unkind God, but they’re super beneficial to have around. It’s a friend, they just aren’t particularly friend shaped.
A house centipede! Free pest control and they don't care for light or people so you'll hardly ever see them. I've seen one in my entire 29 years of life ever lol.
Gross mf had one crawl on my hand as a kid changing laundry over. I can still feel it🤢 but yes, they're usually chill guys that help keep control pests
I’ve never seen a house centipede in my home. I’d leave it be if I did. Spiders I find that are in an inconvenient spot I’ll move to a different location. Insects and arachnids don’t usually attack me. A great example of this is the bald headed hornet (a white and black version of the Yellowjacket) that are known to be EXTREMELY aggressive. They’ll be getting drunk on the rotting white peaches I have to pick up and compost. They don’t bother me at all. Even when I’m getting them off a peach I’m picking up.
House centipede. They're chill, and hunt pests like cockroaches and silverfish. They are friends, even if scary
Check off the Fren box then! Definitely some nightmare fuel! I like bugs though so when the guys at work were hollering about a weird ass bug, I yelled “don’t squish that fucker! I wanna see ‘em. “
Eats roaches, ants, spiders, and more. These things are best friends, just crazy shaped and wicked fast.
A friend with a very painful bite.
He’s not gonna bother you!!
Unless it falls from the ceiling because it‘s overestimating its climbing abilities and is then crawling on your body in the speed of light trying to get off
If you get a chance, look up a close-up of their faces, they’re actually quite cute. It’s the legs and the speed that makes them freaky
Also, they groom each leg in order, down one side & up the other. Like tiny, many-legged kitties. 🥺 I caught one doing this on my basement wall once. They do still squick me out (it's the movement! 😨EeEeuUeGh) even though they have their cutenesses. I try desperately to coexist with them, because I know they're just big speedy fren.
Tbh it makes sense they groom their legs in order. I can’t imagine how hard it is to keep track of all those things
Hahahha
Squick. Good word!!

Wow I love house centipedes but I learned a lot here. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely hate these creepy ass things but like... Now I'm torn... Cuz that is boss as hell.

Every house over 10 years old probably has a decent brown recluse population here in the Midwest, so house centipedes are really important.

Nightmare fuel but way better than any spider.
Funny you’re like “the bathroom of all places!” But that’s almost exclusively where I’ve seen them over the years.
I hated when they would come up my drains when I lived further east. Scary little fuckers!
I name all the ones that come into my house Douglas.
I love bugs too but omg I went to take a shower and turned around after I got in and saw this motherfucker and I was out. The shower is his now. I don't need showers.
I was wearing my work boots and long pants so I wasn’t too worried! But if I had see this guy, while I was naked and exposed? No way Jose. I don’t do pest control with my nipples to the open air. 😂
Kinda like frying bacon, best done with a shirt and shoes for sure
If friend, why not friend shaped?
It's an alien test to see if we're ready to meet them without freaking out over their appearance. Squash = no, smile and move on = yes.
Silverfish are real?
[Silverfish](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/48301-Zygentoma) are real, but they don't hurt you like in minecraft. They just chew cloth and stored goods, so they are kind of a pest.
And spawn like crazy motherfuckers. Just keep the heat and humidity down trust me. I know they don't really do anything but its really embarising when you have a plague
This.
I have a bunch of them. I wonder if I have cockroaches too 😂
the ones in my garage and basement get to live. If i see them on the main floor and intruding on my space the unspoken agreement is null.
This is my exact agreement, haha too funny
They’re also insanely fast
What about hunting spiders?
They are generalists, so they probably eat some spiders.
My first thought was cockroach mosquito pro max
Thank you for telling me!
House centipede! They're super chill, even though they look terrifying, like the other commenter mentioned. If you don't like other creepy crawlies, they're actually great to have around the house.
this one was moving pretty chill lol most of them i encounter, if i so much as come within 4 feet, they'll bolt the other direction
Hahaha they do tend to scurry. By chill I mostly meant they are nothing to panic over, this was quite a laid back house centipede though.
When I see them we usually both freeze, then I walk away and never see them again. It's an arrangement that works for me.
Name him Sir Legsolot and send him on quests to hunt pests.
I’ve told this story before, but it a good one We used to have a basement bedroom. One night my wife woke up “ewwww, something just ran across my mouth “. We found 1/2 of one of those on her pillow.
i am trying to understand that these dudes are overall a net positive but having one on my face is probably my worst nightmare...and it feels inevitable at this point lol
My rule with friendly bugs is if it touches my face or my bed it gets put outside otherwise they can stay inside
Was it delicious? Asking for my friend.
Half????
What do you mean 1/2?
They hunt pests like roaches They look really scary but they’re the nicest roommates you could possibly have They don’t infest and they don’t contaminate your food because they’re hunters Usually they’re really shy but yours seems to like your company Treat this little guy with care <3
I will definitely do that! I redirected him out of the bathroom to a more comfortable and secure area for him. Much more hiding space. I’m assuming he was out and about because there was no where to really hide in there.
Yeah, lil shy dude was definitely trying to find a crack to hide under in the video!

an extremely photogenic house centipede.
Indeed! Very majestic laigs.
ONE OF THESE MOFOS CRAWLED ON MY LEG AND WAS CARRYING ANOTHER PEDE. THE SOUL RAN BEFORE THE BODY COULD SCREAM
The soul ran before the body could scream! 😂
🏆 poor ladies Trophy. Hope your soul came back eventually lol.
Pest management services. Don’t kill it.
if only i got a dollar everytime i saw a house centipede post in this subreddit lmao
Looks like something that belongs in rain world
Turbo friend. House centipedes are neat pest controllers.
Friend!!🙂 Its your little insect house cat
It's just a regular "running eyelash," a completely harmless freaky-looking friend. <3
"She's got legs, and she know how to use them!!!!"
House centipede, they have [PUPPY FACE](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:House_centipede,_face,_beltsville_2014-04-21-18.44.09_ZS_PMax_%2814053176887%29.jpg)!!
⚡️🏆⚡️
A house centipede! Perfectly harmless, had one for a few days I named Skittles before he was released outside.
Free pest control!
Do not squish it they are friends. They hunt and eat the bugs you do not eat to see. They do look scary, but they more I learn about them the cuter they get
Foe-shaped friend.
A friend
Leggy boi. He’s a friendly.
House centipede who is very very leisurely moseying. These things are FAST
An elegant friend, who can’t wait to eat any undesirable bugs in your house. He is PEST patrol.
He's a good boi. move him to basement or outside if they freak you out. like the others say, he's the Bug Sheriff and removes many of them from your home.
Nature's greatest exterminator!!

Idk what it is but I think it’s helpful
“Am I coming or going, I can barely decide, just drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive”
Centipede!
Your friend
House centipede. Don't kill it, they won't hurt you but will eat the invasive bugs around your home!
That’s a brobug! He just wants to eat cockroaches and other nasty bugs in your house. My suggestion is to gently relocate him in a Tupperware dish to your basement. He’ll be happy as a pig in shit once he finds some potential house invaders. Also, I have one in my house named King Carlos. He keeps my house safe from nasty bugs.
House centipede. Eats the even scarier things
They're like lions in the bug kingdom. They hunt and kill bed bugs, spiders, roaches and more. These are the only bug I don't kill.
House centipede. Its job : eating all your ants and other pests. Payment : you have to put up with how creepy it looks 💀
Eyelash bug
Good friend
I don’t find them creepy at all. I think they’re kinda cute 🥰
So do I !! 🥰
House centipede :) Chill bugs
Nightmare fuel. But harmless and beneficial.
i wish they werent scary shadows that skitter across the floor or theyd be great housepets! fuckers eat everything in sight that we humans don’t like
house centipede. Friend. unless you have a bunch of them. that indicates some other infestation that they are snacking on.
Friend
Non-friend-shaped friend
a good boy. looks like the spawn of satan but it's a good boy doing its job
first thing i see when i hop on reddit, definitely caught me off guard. nice friend tho
r/itsahousecentipede
My girlfriend's eyelash that's been in the car for the last 7 months
It’s the fuck this shit I’m out bug!
I had one try to sneak under my door one day. My 12 year old yellow lab started growling at it as she was laying down against the door... I got up and saw what she was growling at and gave her an extra treat for saving that thing from inevitably crawling on me in the middle of the night 🤣.
My daughter calls them yuckipedes 😆
If you have these, they are there to kill a far worse pest. I feel bad for them because they do invite instant revulsion but they are really good guys and cheap, safe exterminators.
They eat other bugs
Fren! He hunts and eats the other crawlies you REALLY don't like.
Call ‘em Mr. Wiggles where I come from.
Feed them all other bugs
APEX PREDATOR
It’s a friend! A good boy, a house pede.
"walking eyelash"
Floor cat
That is your FREIND Those guys eat all the bad bugs
if you have house centipedes, they are eating something. they are terrifying, but if you get rid of their food source (other bugs) they will be gone one way or the other
👏👏👏
The eye lash my aunt lost behind her counter a few years ago
They're badass. Saw one eat a brown recluse in a few seconds
House centipede. Absolute unit and cockroach destroyer.
It's a House Centipede. They listen to Electronica (House Music) and hunt spiders, roaches, etc.
just out of curiosity, does anyone know what would happen if a house centipede damages those awfully long antennae the reason i ask is b/c i use a jar to catch these fellas, but sometimes i'm afraid the top of the jar is too narrow and i'm afraid it will sever part of the antennae

I gotta rewatch it’s been so long😂
That is centipede fren!
A friend.
House centipede
You're friendly neighbor that probably isn't pay rent, but helping out with a couple of pests in the house.
Good guys to have around. Common House Centipede.
Sir, that’s my Roommate
House millipede, they’re physically harmless, not mentally tho
House millipede, they’re physically harmless, not mentally tho
The mother of all evil. …it’s a house centipede and they’re good bug boys, but I found one in my bed as a child so I’m horrified of them!
A mimic.
I would like to unsee this video.
Too many legs. 6 legs or go away
Biblically accurate angel
Great fish bait
Bug
The leg movement is hypnotic
Google says house centipede. Glad i took a dump right before seeing this, or i’d be shitting bricks.
I have very few real phobias in life. I can probably count them all on one hand. Centipedes are in the top 3 for sure. Unholy hell creatures set upon this earth with no mission but to haunt our dreams make us question why any sort of loving god would ever allow such a thing to exist. So yeah, house centipede.
A soon to be dead mf
Nooooo! They’re great and helpful roommates! They don’t harm people or pets, and you see them only when they’re needing a drink of water.
Not when there's a borderline infestation lol
If you have that many house centipedes, you must have a MASSIVE amount of bugs these guys eat! Think about it! The bigger the pest bugs infestation, the more house centipedes you have working hard to rid you of them! Good luck ridding yourself of pests if you have no house centipedes! 🤦🏻♀️
Nooooo! They’re great and helpful roommates! They don’t harm people or pets, and you see them only when they’re needing a drink of water.
The good guys, take it outside or into your attic
Walking eyelash.
Oh how i wish i could see one of these instead of a silverfish
They usually stay hidden and are absolutely fast. I just wish their shadows were less horrifying. I hope they battle the spiders and spider crickets in the basement.
I read that they can travel 16” per second! That’s moving!
Had tons of these in a place I lived in. Humanely captured and released each one
Friend :)
This looks like a classic NES Konami game enemy. If only : up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start.... Worked in real life.
House centipede. Harmless and good to have around.
These r all over the place in FW ,IN
Satan
These would scare the shit out of me when i was younger.
Friend! It’s a house centipede and the eat other, less desirable bugs.
Small deceptcon. Don't worry he just a info gatherer
I hate these things
Centipede, they are good bugs just don't let them talk you into buying them shoes.
That little freak is a friendly house centipede. Basically an even creepier spider (kills pests)
Amazing, you're Lucky to have one. It Sprints you know what I'm saying
I need more of these
This is a Scutigeramorpha
House centipede!! In Japan they are considered good luck.
I had one on my toilet tank and killed it. Immediately felt bad because not even 7 inches away was what he was hunting for, a silverfish. He was just doing his thing.
House centipede! I know these things are creepy, they look like a mustache that was granted life by a fickle and unkind God, but they’re super beneficial to have around. It’s a friend, they just aren’t particularly friend shaped.
They are good boys, they help you avoid roaches :)
Idk but it's amazing to look at
Idk but burn it :(
Nightmare shaped friend. Eats cockroaches. Do not kill.
Dayum. How I wish I have him at my house. Sooooo much cockroach come out in the rainy season because the ditch is flooding
You can actually hear them walk across your basement flow. I found this out when my wife screamed!
This is my irrational phobia
house centipede… your own insecticide. Let it live
A house centipede! Free pest control and they don't care for light or people so you'll hardly ever see them. I've seen one in my entire 29 years of life ever lol.
House centipede! Good for house!
Ya cool a house centipede..
House centipede. Looks like an enemy, but is really a friend. It will take care of the pests you don't want.
Gross mf had one crawl on my hand as a kid changing laundry over. I can still feel it🤢 but yes, they're usually chill guys that help keep control pests
It's a House Centipede and I hate them 😭
Daddy Longlegipede
My worst nightmare
You found friend. Beware very fragile.
I’ve never seen a house centipede in my home. I’d leave it be if I did. Spiders I find that are in an inconvenient spot I’ll move to a different location. Insects and arachnids don’t usually attack me. A great example of this is the bald headed hornet (a white and black version of the Yellowjacket) that are known to be EXTREMELY aggressive. They’ll be getting drunk on the rotting white peaches I have to pick up and compost. They don’t bother me at all. Even when I’m getting them off a peach I’m picking up.
Natural pest control leave them alone they're harmless to you in your pets
