Well I guess sleep is optional tonight

Odd, I've had several in my room in my last place, but they didn't seem territorial or aggressive to humans. Sometimes too close I'd worry I'd hurt it but other than that...

Limousine spider. Great! I'll never forget that anymore for life. Haha

A house centipede is just 4 spiders in a trench coat.

Straight up I leave Wolf Spiders alive for this goal.

I don't think they can. Once a centipede is of decent size I think it's much stronger than the average house Spider. Australia notwithstanding.

Why not both?

I don't think house spider eat cockroaches. I would worship them if they could.

Hey, they are the fluffiest critters ever among those that ran over me. They don't even tickle, just a smooth touch.

Developes feelings for the house centipedes

this is why i respect web spinning spiders and jumping spiders (despite the name).

web spinners just spin their webs and sit there, they're in their lane and flourishing.

jumping spiders are smart enough to recognize that we are gods compared to them, and that we probably won't appreciate them making sudden fast movements.

it's the legs and speed that do it, normal centipedes are plenty freaky but the fact that the legs are stubbier makes them much more managable, they're more like seeing a wild rat.

I didn't even know they existed until I had one in my apartment around 5 years ago. Now that I've bought a house I see them regularly in my basement.

YOU DIED

it's wild because humans are supposed to have this sort of reaction programmed into us for snakes, but i'm absolutely fine with snakes and even find some of them quite cute!

but anything with long thin legs? incinerate it in nuclear hellfire

I feel ya. When I find them in the garden, where one expects to find a multitude of bugs, it gives me the heebie jeebies soo bad. It's def the zillions of legs going mach 9 for me.

Texbook phobia.

what the fuck are you gonna do the first time something makes it up the stairs? I hope you have a flamethrower ready.

Side note, do not stomp AT them in bare feet (in an attempt to scare them off). They will attack your toes

It's cute.

ngl, I think millipede is kinda cute. I'm thinking about building a terrarium tank and keep a few of them as pet.

It's weird how when they have even more legs somehow they become less creepy. I guess it's because they have to pack them in so tight and it starts to almost become cute.
