We have those all over Iowa and one day my girl friend was screaming in the bath room and go there. She had been standing on the toilet for 3hours because one of these were on her towel when she put it on! So I move a couple things and there it was about 4 inches long scary as shit would have taken pictures but I threw it in the toilet cause my girl slammed the door as soon as I picked it up and the fucker tried to climb out so I had to flush!
jeannec1 is right, it is a house centipede, also affectionately known as a "thousand-legger". They are actually quite beneficial, and are predatory on other insects and spiders. Although technically poisoness, they are COMPLETELY HARMLESS to people, and cannot bite you---their jaws are just too small. If you find these in your house, chances are that you have few insect pests around---just call them the house patrol.
lol, not a silverfish, not even close to a silverfish. Silverfishes are very primitive insects and they have 6 legs, if I had my arthropod handbook on hand I could tell you what exactly it is, but it is closely related to millipedes and centipedes.
Omg i saw one of those at my cousins house in greenwich Connecticut(yes, their wicked rich) and we were freaked the fuck out. Ive been looking for what it was called for 2 yrs, finally i found it...damn these are scary lookin
This is a house centipede and it has fangs that cannot penetrate human skin, so it is harmless. It is venemous but if it is capable biting through the skin it will only hurt as much as a bee sting. I have noticed more of these have been showing up in central New Jersey over the past few years.
The House centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata, is a yellowish grey centipede with 15 pairs of legs. Originally endemic to the Mediterranean region, although i have seen one in florida ate my relatives house, so i'm guessing southern american regions as well. completely harmless, the actually rid you're house of ants and spiders.
SORRY! This IS a house centipede. House centipedes are harmless & our allies. FREE PEST CONTROL! Despite their name, house centipedes are quite capable of living outdoors. They can be found under logs or rocks or behind rotting tree bark. Take care of these miniature, invertebrate wonders and they'll help you control your pests.
The most common name for these guys is "House Centipede." However, this the real name behind this guy is a Silver Fish. In their larval stage, they are small and have a silver color that flashes as it moves. They also eat paper in this stage As they grow, they lose their silver coloring, becoming brown. Their legs get HUGE and they get real ugly. In their adult stage they eat smaller bugs and other pests. I know they're really scary, but they really clean up the other bugs.
Only the big ones can bite threw skin, but their venom won't kill you! They're actually beneficial in the house if you have a bug problem... but they are quite alarming with their speed!
That's not a silverfish. Silverfish move much faster and are not usually seen in lit areas. This is my arch enemy: the house centipede. (wikipedia it for details). It is hands-down the only thing in the world that scares the living SHIT out of me. I can't stand them, yet here I am watching a video of them lol.
I am with you on that one! The first time I saw one of these was in Korea at midnight. I swear I stepped on that thing 5 times and it still didn't die. House centipedes: YUCK!
i have seen one of those before, in the girls bathroom at my old school :P it was creepy, everyone was screaming (well, sorta) or running round and telling people. LOL
This is a "house centipede" (scutigera coleoptrata) originally found in the Mediterranean area, now happily existing all over the United States. They love to eat cockroaches, silverfish and termites - however they have a nasty bite so even though they are helpful, you don't want to get bit.
spot on did u know pound for pound they are the second fastest land dweling creature on the planet able to run 6 lengths of its body per second, the cheater can only manage 2. the the fastest is the tiger beetle able to run 8 body lengths per second
Spider?....the fact that it has more than 8 legs should of clued you in on it not being a spider...I wish people would just search "wikipedia" for shit like this...just a plain old centipede.
Yea, they are house centipedes, but up North in the Pa area we started calling them Silverfish...a nick name that's been used elsewhere spuratically, but is also a name of another insect.
That is a HOUSE CENTIPEDE. I know because I get them all the time here in my room. I didn't know what the **** they were either so I searched bug archives until I read about them. The previous poster is right though they aren't poisonous to humans but they hurt like hell if they bite you.
its not a centipede or a millepede! its a silver fish, there not eaven closley related, just caus they have more than 6 legs, dosent make them a centepede.
