Extremely ugly bug - i am petrified 😵

There was a six inch long one in my basement once. My sister smacked it with a flip flop and it broke in half and the halves both like squirmed around

The first time I encountered one of these things as a kid I screamed my head off. They are huge and larval looking. Ugh!

 

[Aunt Angus]

Centipedes bite. Don't pick one up if you can help it. I've never been bitten by one though. I'm not a fan!

These DO bite, but very rarely . They're good guys as long as you don't have an infestation. I see them in my workshop sometimes. I'd rather see these than roaches! Creepy? Yes. Gonna kill you? No.

I'm not really afraid of bugs unless they startle me, which is what happened the first time I saw one of those. About the ugliest thing I ever saw.

They're usually harmless. They like oatmeal, slightly moist dirt and places to hide and burrow under

Yeah, don't have them in the PNW so far as I know. It was in California as a kid that I saw them. Sure are uggers!
