Scutigera coleoptrata

Um pequeno artrópode (Scutigera coleoptrata) que fui incomodar enquanto tomava o seu banho matinal.

A small arthropod (Scutigera coleoptrata) that I filmed while it was having a bath. I found it climbing on the wall of my sink. After this film session, I let it loose on the garden.

I understand this conversation, it's in portuguese ;)

[Priciaf]

@Soulreaper066 - Sim, é em português. I'm from Lisbon. My mother was saying that this "bug" was ugly and dirty and I answer that from its point of view, probably we humans, might be as ugly too. At the same time I was telling her that it was having a bath while inside the glass.

awww its actually kinda cute :)

[Priciaf]

@kelsey905 Thank you. I think so too. I never thought that a bug like this, while in this glass "prision" would take time to relax and clean itself.

Si chiama Scutigera coleoptrata...

@pornomoralizzatore - Grazie.

My son calls them Fuzzy Bugs. I use to kill them with a passion, until my wife saw a brown recluse. The scutigera eat brown recluses and any other pests. When I see them know I leave them alone, sometimes you have to set a monster to catch a monster, call it an uneasy alliance. Their bite is much preferable to the bite of a brown recluse. When all your pests are gone, they disappear to.

omg i want your camera

[SHELLHEAD1961]

There Are BROWN RECLUSES Where I LIVE !!.....So THESE THINGS Are AROUND My HOUSE TOO ?!?!?!?!?!.......Shit! I Gotta Move !!

[Shurrackia96]

I think its cute, but I also dont want it to touch me lol

[loveunderlaw]

@trickynick1001 Recluses server their purpose out in the forests LOL It's not even their bite so much that's deadly, it's the bacteria that lives on their fangs that will really mess up your day! Yes centipedes are cool, I have a couple living under my bathroom, & kitchen sinks:)

[trickynick1001]

@loveunderlaw Recluse bites aren't as dangerous as everyone thinks. Most of them heal normally without issue. However, seeking medical attention is not a bad idea regardless.

@Priciaf I'm glad there are others who appreciate the beauty of these animals!

[BoostedChick]

These are freaky!

[loveunderlaw]

@MerkinMuffly No doubt! A Centipede bite is a little less than a Bee sting, but a Recluse bite, can REALLY fuck up your day:(

[loveunderlaw]

Cool looking Centipede:)
