what the hell is this bug??

[derosnec]

i just saw it on my ceiling and i'm freaked out because behind this manly, handsome body is a scared little kid

i looked up silverfish online and it doesn't look like those images. here is a pic i drew. has a lot of legs but is not a centipede or millipede.

Almost certainly a type of silverfish. I've seen some with a ton of really long wispy legs. Maybe those weren't silverfish, but putting a name to it comforts me.

[derosnec]

ok, i found a pic of it. i'm assuming it's a centipede?

Yes, a "House Centipede"

They kill bugs, apparently not that bad to have around:

It also appears that the bug I confused with a silverfish was also a house centipede.

Oh god -- we've had 2 of those things in our house in the last couple weeks. Someone needs to ad to the wikipedia page that they FREAK WIVES THE HELL OUT, worse than normal bugs.

Next time, I'll try to explain that it's gonna go eat all the other bad bugs, we'll see if that gets me out of having to fight it.

[derosnec]

ah i see that they kill bugs. very nice. tho i'm not sure if they will hurt my pets. or maybe my pets will hurt them. i don't know. i feel like my apartment is turning into national geographic.
