I've been wondering what these awful buggers are. We moved into a townhome 6 months ago and I see them on the bricks outside and in my basement. I HATE THEM! It's their nasty legs, the speed, the markings, the way they move.. my mother actually named them Frilly-pedes because she thought their legs looked "frilly" so that's what we've been calling them! To my ultimate dismay and horror... I went into my basement the other day and saw a baby one run across the floor and another in my bathroom, the buggers are breeding!! This makes me not want to do my laundry, they're usually too fast for me to get my dustbuster and vaccuum them away and by the time I get something to smoosh them they've disappeared.. I wish I knew how to get rid of them but I doubt it will happen... ugh!! I hate bugs. Oh and we get ALOT of earwigs here too they creep me out also... Anyways thanks again... not sure I wanted to read the part about how they can live 7 years tho:S Harmless or not I wish they didn't exist!!! OMG, so happy to come across your site!

They're certainly crazy bugs, Bri - definitely disconcerting and even a bit frightening at first, but really generally harmless. Hope he turns up so you can toss him outside where he'd be better off! Earwigs are my all-time least favourite, Angel. I can totally understand your reaction to their shed skins! Thanks, Killerbrush!

It's interesting how easy some things are to overlook or miss. I did know that centipedes have venom, which is one of the reasons their bite stings so much, but I had no idea that there were any capable of (or interested in) taking on a baby gator for lunch.
