6. Wow, that's fast! I'll hold good thoughts that the phone rings soon.
You must be pretty bored, if you're taking pictures of bugs in your bathtub....


:P

7. well I didn't really take the pic
Its a google pic, but I find bugs like that one coming up out of the drain all the time. I drown them before I take a bath!

Waiting for the phone to ring...

9. Eeewwwww Centipedes!
Gosh they are nasty. On the plus side though, they eat other bugs--so if you have them you ahve just about nothing else.

:scared:

Usually I try to shoo bugs outside--centipedes are WAY too fast, you'll pretty much have to squash.

Not that it matters--he'll be long gone by the time you see this.

10. Help him outdoors....
House centipedes feed on small insects, insect larvae, and on spiders. Thus they are beneficial, though most homeowners take a different point-of-view and consider them a nuisance. Technically, the house centipede could bite, but it is considered harmless to people.

12. I'm from the catch and release camp
He's actually a good guy. They eat other bugs. Specifically spiders, termites, cockroaches, and silverfish. So the more centipedes you have the fewer of the other critters you have. Unless of course you prefer termites, roaches and silverfish.
