YEP!!! That's bloody scary! :shock:

hehe just go to the first thread in the subscribers forum.... aptly titled "ARGH!"

"In captivity, house centipedes feed readily on cockroach nymphs, flies, moths, bedbugs, crickets, silverfish, earwigs, and other insects and small spiders. They capture prey by half pouncing and half lassoing them. They can capture several prey items at one time. They feed on one specimen while holding the others with their quivering, lashing appendages (Lewis 1981). "

Hmm... Should have captured the little thing and feed it cockroaches! :lol:

Yeah, we have them around Phoenix at this time of the year. They run up to 8-10 inches.

Ours don't look like that in England, they look like this (and they're pretty small and harmless):

I can't believe the blatant insectism in this thread. And even more shocking is that a moderator started it! I'm shocked that the people who run the forum can condone such things.

SHOCKED!!! :shock:
