House Centipede

Scutigera coleoptrata

Habitat:

Found indoors.

Notes:

Long rear legs that it seems to use as feelers. Front feelers are a little longer than the rear legs. Looks to have mandible. Stripes of brown and dark yellow. Looks like it has compound eyes like a bee or dragonfly. Though it has multiple legs it doesn't move that fast.

Great predators of "bugs" we don't like so much like cockroaches and silverfish (to name a few). Harmless and beneficial!
