Found it dead in my dishes
Forbidden shrimp
For the love of God could you not?
It really looks like a shrimp 🦐
Slimy yet satisfying
Lmao
bug
Kos, or some say Kosm
Where in the world do these things live? I’ve never seen anything like it before, and we have some pretty crazy things you can find in a house here in Aus
It’s just a centipede. I’m pretty sure those live most places…
You and I have vastly different ideas of what a centipede is
It’s a house centipede, which means you probably have an infestation somewhere. Poor thing just walked into the sink.
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.
Well thank God for that
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.
I love them
It sure is, buddy!
This shit is freaky! I would abandon that house and move to a different country lol
Thats a house centipede. Looks creepy, but its a nice house pet. It eats all of the other, undesireable, pests in your house.
Yep, they are pretty cool ! Until there is no other pests left…
Ok, thanks! Unfortunatelly this one doesnt qualify anymore as a pet but i am sure there are others around in the garden eg
This is centipede propaganda, long live the spider queen, death to the centipedes!
Oh so it’s a rest of the world huntsman spider, cool. I’ve got one in my bedroom, love having little buggy helpers around
People love to say that they are harmless. But then why give it the most harmful sounding name imaginable?
HUNTS
MAN
And not just the men. The women and children too!
I don’t like sand. It’s course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
When I was younger and I had roommates I hated it when they killed the house spiders. It was the reason we had so many other bugs. Once that roommate moved out, the rest of us stopped killing the spiders and after a burst of spiders the rest of the bugs were gone. House bugs are very creepy but they keep the bad house bugs away. Like bedbugs. Fuck bedbugs and the evolutionary niche they’ve crawled out from.
Does it come as good news that cockroaches are bedbug predators? Some real “pick your poison” shit, huh?
Honestly yeah, actually the building I previously moved out of had both. So I just kept very tidy by keeping everything they’d be attracted to sealed and away and left the cockroaches alone. It was a lot though, every night throw out all the garbage. Seal and put away all the food, if food can not be easily sealed put it in the fridge. Clean up all the crumbs and any drops of water on the floors, counters shelfs, ect. Lightly Borax the sinks, toilet, tubs. Then wake up, collect the ones that died overnight, clean up and go about my day. Oh and make sure you take apart then make your bed every morning and night to make sure nothing else crawled in there. They were never more than a small nuisance and I never had bedbugs compared to my neighbors. Yay adorable housing… So glad to be outta there.
Yay adorable housing…
You see, I think spiders are incredibly interesting animals. But I really can’t look at them. I guess my Mum screaming every time something with more than 4 legs appeared had a lasting impact on me. So having one next to me while I sleep is nightmare stuff to me.

Depends on the spider. I would not want something like a huntsman spider, but I don’t mind the small ones that just sit in their corner webbing.
I always say that I don’t mind spiders. They’re very respectful. They stay in their corner and eat the bugs I don’t like.
That’s the spider’s way of paying rent, in our household. If they come out into the spaces where we are, it goes against the rental agreement, and they are …evicted.
I too have the same policy in my house. Respect each other’s personal spaces, and we’re all good
It also keeps the house because I can’t look at it
oh hell naw who clicked the red bubble

What’s the size scale here … is that corn??
It’s a full sized human head.
just a hard-working protector house centipede I think. harmless
Well, of course it’s harmless, it’s dead, SMH.
So you’re saying I can eat it, right? Gotcha. 😉
I’m not sure about centipedes, but if what goes for woodlice goes for them, you need to cook them/fry them for a bit because they’re toxic if you don’t, but then they’re great.
You can eat anything at least once
How about if you eat it in moderation?
I stayed a night in a dorm room before a bike race. I saw one of these before I went to sleep but couldn’t catch/kill it. I still slept like a baby.
Not sure whether to respect, fear, or worry about you.
the weak should fear the strong

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.
If it has more appendages than I do, I immediately dislike it.
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
Dogs tho
My person, arms and legs are both appendages. But now that you mention it… is a trail an appendage?
We got tail bones too, close enough.
Good point!
Nope, dogs and I both have four limbs, my tail is just on the front.
I’m not sure whether I would prefer your reply to mean that you have mutant tail on the front of your body or that you believe dogs do not have dicks.
Pick one, I’m happy with either lol.
Third option is he is comparing himself to a female dog
Same. Just seeing one makes me gag. My physical response to them is wild, and I WILL kill it.
Same. They’re just too damn creepy to let live.
The big thing for me is it’s a sign there are bugs for them to eat in your walls or house.
Wait, common!?
Oh yeah
Midwest here, insanely common.
they bite???
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.
Or at least, it was.
