They are not 100% harmless than can and have bitten humans.
Side note, do not stomp AT them in bare feet (in an attempt to scare them off). They will attack your toes
While centipedes are fine, I’ve always been much more of a milipede fan.
It’s weird how when they have even more legs somehow they become less creepy. I guess it’s because they have to pack them in so tight and it starts to almost become cute.
I’ll say it: milipedes are cute.
You know, until you posted this comic I never really put it together that millipedes are generally not predators. I guess that also explains why I’ve always instinctively found them less scary than centipedes.
Yep, millipedes are chill and mostly munch on dead plant material. Centipedes, on the other hand, are carnivorous little demons straight from a nightmare.
Well, the only “evidence” in the video is the commentator repeatedly saying that these centipedes are creepy and horrible. But they also mention how important their role in the ecosystem is. So, I think it is a pretty cool animal! But I don’t get why people would be creeped out by centipedes in the first place.
ngl, I think millipede is kinda cute. I’m thinking about building a terrarium tank and keep a few of them as pet.
I doubt this will help my deep discomfort but it did make me happy :)
They don’t scare you enough? Imagine them as Eldritch abominations.
Idk if this helps. I just feel kinda itchy now
A few of these lithe fellows and Moria would still be the crowning jewel of the misty mountains
Now I’m packing my bugs for the misty mountains 🎶
Limousine spider.
They also appear to be smart, aggressive, and territorial. I have been chased by several. And I have run away with great haste.
Odd, I’ve had several in my room in my last place, but they didn’t seem territorial or aggressive to humans. Sometimes too close I’d worry I’d hurt it but other than that…
Well I guess sleep is optional tonight
Limousine spider. Great! I’ll never forget that anymore for life. Haha
Steal it just like I did.
Centipedes with legs? Believe it or not, straight to Dark Souls
YOU DIED
Skill issue!

I like them just the way they are.
It’s cute.
Look at the cute rollerblades!
I would far rather the spiders in my house eat these things.
I don’t think they can. Once a centipede is of decent size I think it’s much stronger than the average house Spider. Australia notwithstanding.
Can confirm that our house spiders are pretty tough. A car ran off the road and into the front wall of my house spider last year and it barely left a mark. We still live here.
Im assuming the spider is your landlord.
Straight up I leave Wolf Spiders alive for this goal.
A house centipede is just 4 spiders in a trench coat.
I don’t think house spider eat cockroaches. I would worship them if they could.
Why not both?
When you’re a centipede, EVERY day is Leg Day!
It’s their suddenness that freaks me out. I had been sitting on my couch for two hours the other night when one scuttled out from beneath my feet!
this is why i respect web spinning spiders and jumping spiders (despite the name).
web spinners just spin their webs and sit there, they’re in their lane and flourishing.
jumping spiders are smart enough to recognize that we are gods compared to them, and that we probably won’t appreciate them making sudden fast movements.
all they need to do is stop being so scary and we can be chillin
I’m not really scared of them, but I do have a visceral reaction to them. Something about them makes me want to vomit. Or, maybe it’s a level of fear I don’t recognize because I go from 0 to vomit and wanting to claw my eyes out real quick.
it’s wild because humans are supposed to have this sort of reaction programmed into us for snakes, but i’m absolutely fine with snakes and even find some of them quite cute!
but anything with long thin legs? incinerate it in nuclear hellfire
Texbook phobia.
I feel ya. When I find them in the garden, where one expects to find a multitude of bugs, it gives me the heebie jeebies soo bad. It’s def the zillions of legs going mach 9 for me.
