My wife hates it because of the way they look but after some searching it seems they should be our friends! lol They feed on the other more destructive insects like spiders, bedbugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants and other household arthropods. If you see a lot in your house you've got bigger problems than the House centipide. lol So if you see them try not to kill them because they're your pest control and friend! lol Canon EOS 5D MkII - Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L - Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS - Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L MkI - Canon 50mm f/1.8 MkI
