House centipede

Scientific name added.

Since you know the identity of your organism, please take a moment to plug in the scientific name. This adds the spotting to the database and takes it off the "unidentified" list. Thanks!

Thanks folks! Much appreciated !

I agree with Martin. This is a house centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata).

Thanks!

The tail end contains thicker legs and false antennae (cerci?) so a predator is likely to mistake which end is the head.

I would call this a young house centipede.
