Your letter to the bugman: Hi,
I found this in my bathtub after 1am. It’s big and scary and has a lot of long legs. Seeing it just grossed me out so I drowned it (I think) :/
Thanks,

Dear Amber,
This is a nocturnal, predatory House Centipede. House Centipedes are shy and they will avoid humans. They do have a mild venom, and a large specimen might bite if carelessly handled, but it is much more likely to flee.
