I was out to catch some crickets for pet food and came upon this thing.
Sorry abt my ignorance, but I'm very unfamiliar with creatures with more than 8 legs.
Very bad pictures, don't feel like taking more pics of this guy, it's too UGLY!!!

It looks like a House Centipede, from what I've read they are harmless and might even be beneficial.

Thanks for the info! It definitely is a house centipede.
Harmless it may be, but it certainly looks evil! Esp in the dark
Released it back to its habitat already, caught a stink bug to feed my mantis instead
