Here you go: https://www.environmentalpestcontrol.ca/centipedes#:~:text=Although%20approximately%2070%20different%20species,common%20centipedes%20in%20North%20America. At least they're not Giant Desert Centipedes-- we have them here (Arizona) and they get up to 8" long and can sting the hell out of you.

2022-12-14 13:54:19 +0000 UTCOh I don’t even want to know about African or South American centipedes. Nope.

2022-12-14 01:40:55 +0000 UTCI think the biggest I’ve seen was maybe 7cm? Which isn’t massive, but it’s too big for something with that many legs.
Peter Davoust
2022-12-14 01:40:19 +0000 UTCNot huge by African or South American standards

2022-12-14 00:53:08 +0000 UTCThey also eat roaches and silverfish, which can objectively cause actual harm to the house. I get it, that many legs squig me out something fierce, but they're strictly in the capture and release category in our house.

2022-12-13 22:16:58 +0000 UTCHow huge is huge in this context? Are we talking 4 cm or 20 cm?

2022-12-13 18:55:52 +0000 UTCHouse centipedes are totally adorable little beasts. Centipedes like the Pacific island varieties grow into big venomous monsters that are heart-stoppingly terrifying, and even the teeny tiny cute looking ones have excruciatingly painful bites. Know your monsters is all I'm saying.

2022-12-13 18:50:14 +0000 UTCI discovered house centipedes when I moved to Montreal. As mention before, they’re harmless to people (and actually kinda cool), but they’re terrifying and goddamn can they grow HUGE.

2022-12-13 08:13:07 +0000 UTCDo not send us centipedes. THE SPIDERS WILL TEACH THEM THEIR WAYS.
Ack
2022-12-13 06:58:45 +0000 UTCI didn't know I wanted them to have this back story, but now I refuse to believe otherwise.

2022-12-13 01:25:47 +0000 UTCsince i don't live in australia i would much rather have spiders than centipedes
Todd Ellner
2022-12-13 00:36:33 +0000 UTCthey eat spiders? OK, I am going to need you guys to ship a whole box of these to my place in Australia, STAT

2022-12-13 00:11:16 +0000 UTCHouse centipedes look creepy, but they're harmless, and they eat spiders.

2022-12-12 22:45:21 +0000 UTCThey're an all acoustic percussion band. Their biggest hits are "Fascination is Forbidden" and "I Long for Nothing, Least of All You"

2022-12-12 22:21:57 +0000 UTCAnti Human League sounds like an AI band the exact opposite of 80s Brit Wave. What would that resemble?

2022-12-12 22:02:59 +0000 UTCSo that's not a uniform for security it is in fact a security blanket.

2022-12-12 21:50:48 +0000 UTCManitoban here. Can confirm on the house centipedes.
Dallas Hicks
2022-12-12 18:24:47 +0000 UTCThe existing anti-human league wanted to bug their room to make a case against Claire.
Jim Feldman
2022-12-12 17:50:49 +0000 UTCAren't we all? (Now I should probably quickly point out to my coworkers that killing me over my saying this would in fact prove that you're insecure. Hurting me in any way over it would, also. Just to be clear.)
Some Ed
2022-12-12 17:26:45 +0000 UTCI just realised that the Security lady is, in fact, insecure :) awwwwwwwww.
Stephen Wells
2022-12-12 16:44:13 +0000 UTCAww, look at Claire already giving orders and taking charge. Where does she sign?
Ruth Merriam
2022-12-12 16:32:13 +0000 UTCI think you meant house hippos.
Nicolas Dao-Phan
2022-12-12 16:29:25 +0000 UTCI like them. I think of them as my tiny minions, patrolling my house for unwanted bugs and doing unspeakable things to them. Of course they're terrifying-looking - that's the point. The important thing is, they're on *my* side, and their loyalty is unquestionable.
Josh
2022-12-12 16:05:28 +0000 UTCI love my centipedes. They are like pretty little racing eyelashes.
Carol Metzger
2022-12-12 14:52:43 +0000 UTCOne the plus side, they eat spiders. On the downside, they're still fucking terrifying in their own right.
Chris Crowther
2022-12-12 14:43:48 +0000 UTCAs long as they don't get too big.
Summer Sudbrink
2022-12-12 14:18:25 +0000 UTCand yes we do have those in canada. Cats love 'em, and they keep the spider population down. they basically kill and eat anything smaller than them. so we like them, I guess?

2022-12-12 13:23:49 +0000 UTCThanks to a friend I am now crushing on EVERY PINK HAIRED FEM I SEE. I'm not complaining, but it does complicate things.

2022-12-12 12:54:12 +0000 UTCAw but they're harmless lil fuzzy boys
