I have the house centipedes. They went away for a while during the winter, but they're back now. I haven't spotted a silverfish yet though.

I saw one a week or two back but I let it live. The only silverfish I've seen recently is dead. I assume the other ones have been eated by the centipedes.

Look up and to the right if you want to see a silverfish.

That's the one I killed. I tend to leave the carcass since it tends to attract others and makes for an easy kill.

LEAD CHIPS!

I usually find the centipedes in my sinks and the shower, but sometimes theyre just sitting there randomly on the wall.

I hate the centipedes because they can't crawl properly on the ceiling. They tend to scurry in a panic and fall straight down onto the ground with this clunking noise and then struggle to get back on their feet again.

Theyre also really fucking fast

On some days you just wish for birdshot.

And I just noticed that I think that I'm in the background of Sergey's avatar pic. All the way on the left.

2006-06-17 22:22:01 ET

I don't think so because the table behind Sergey doesn't hold any nyc2600 people.

2006-06-17 22:24:45 ET

You might be right. I'd have to look at more pics from that meeting to be sure.

The centipedes can also Parasail, I have watched the drop off walls and spread thier legs out and glide to the floor. They are along with the Mantis and the jumping spider my favorite bugs.

I nearly cried, after seeing those pictures. I saw one of those house centipedes once, at a friend's house, it was about to crawl on my head.
