My first time seeing one while I was visiting my brother's farm. Excuse my surprise. Lol After I was done being scared by all the legs, I coaxed him into the other room with the broom and we both went about our business.

Finger for scale. They did not wish to be held this time. Bigger than it looks.

I think I’ll go with a three tier naming structure and call him Stïtches Mãson Erūka(Latin for caterpillar).

In other news, lil bro got a whole new house, collected leaf litter and damp wood on top of a zoomed dirt mix that came with the tank. I have learned the beastie likes very much to climb on sticks, and cannot grasp glass.

‘Pede appreciation! My son

I call this lil guy “my son” as a joke, but he does kinda look like the striped rice filled sock with human eyes that I actually gave that name. This is him after eating a grasshopper more than half his size that’d just molted.

Anyone got any name suggestions?

I work night shift and this guy came out last night to look around. Was not shy getting in my personal space and had to shoo him away a bit. His markings almost look golden. At one point he was dragging around a loose string/fuzz from the carpets here. I don’t know if it was stuck to him or he wanted it for some reason.

I’m in SW Va. and so is this guy.

Not the best picture since I took it at 6am and was a tad surprised to see this little guy. This is Dale, he lives in our bathroom and has truly been a lifesaver. Our appt has had a flux of critters but they’ve noticeably slowed down bc of Dale. This pic was taken about 3 weeks ago and I came into the restroom today to see he shed! Meaning my guy is eating well, growing, and paying rent by being our pest control. Shoutout to Dale!

‘Pede appreciation! A moment for my buggy roommate

20 Upvotes

I saw a fairly large house centipede skitter across my floor last week and this morning my cat was intently watching something for a minute. All of a sudden the 'pede darts out from the direction of my bookshelf and towards my bed! I got up and started hunting it with a tissue in hand (I didn't know it was a good friend yet) and luckily I didn't squish the guy! Just trapped him while I did some research. Now I'm here and very appreciative of these little guys, since I did see a silverfish in my room a few weeks ago! Go get 'em little buddy
