Centipedes and Millipedes

Thank You

Your website is the greatest! I am pretty phobic about bugs, but am trying to overcome it (and avoid Needless Carnage). I awoke earlier tonight to the sight of a extremely large specimen of house centipede on the ceiling directly over my bed. I had seen this guy once before in my bedroom, and really didn’t want to have to deal with disposing of him–yuck. Thanks to your website, I’ve learned that he is actually beneficial, so I’m going to stop freaking out and just leave him be for the time being (unless he ends up in bed with me!). I also wanted to share this entomology link on house centipedes with you: http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/house-centipedes. I particularly enjoyed the quote from a 1902 source, which is both amusing and still accurate today!
