Horrible creature caught and observed ゲジゲジ

This creepy crawler was waiting for us in the shower one cold winter morning so we put him in our bug jar.

The house centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata is originally endemic to the Mediterranean region, the species has spread to other parts of the world, where it usually lives in human homes. In Japan, these creatures are referred to as gejigeji [3] and enjoy a level of popularity. They can often be seen for sale in pet stores. House centipedes feed on spiders, bedbugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants and other household pests. They kill their prey by injecting venom through their fangs. Because they eat household pests, house centipedes are considered among the most beneficial creatures that inhabit human dwellings, but because of their alarming appearance, frightening speed, and painful bite, few homeowners are willing to share a home with them. Most house centipedes are incapable of penetrating human skin. Those that can, give an effect no worse than a minor bee sting.[2] However, the bite can cause health problems for those few who are allergic to the mild venom of its bite. In the case of an allergic reaction, an extremely painful, swollen lump may appear; such a lump may last a long time, even permanently

As soon as I no longer need to eat anymore I am killing all other life on this planet!

I do my best to respect all insect and arachnid life, but I'm sorry, a surprise insect is not a welcome insect :( When I see one of these that is easily three inches long scuttling up a wall or in the bathtub with all its legs... I can't help but be terrified :(

@Oceanmistsupporter25 You may deal with them however you choose but I choose to show respect to this living being and not destroy life.

[Oceanmistsupporter25]

@romefox Well, when I see them, I smash them with any heavy object that is around.

I saw one in my house and I have news that it hasn't been seen anywhere else in India. The one that I saw was black colored, had red legs, and REALLY big pincers. I had to go leave it outside because of my Mom.
