INTERESTING FACTS: Centipedes sometimes live up to six years.
Wow, it could grow and grow in your basement w/o you knowing. You'd have the 1980's hit all up in your house!

Surprised no Hawaiians have posted yet - giant ones out there, they get up to a foot long. Had one crawl over my hand, leaning against a tree. Creepy! But the small blue ones are the ones that are more poisonous. My friend was bitten, was sick throwing up etc. for a couple days! Go to this site for a funny centipede story.

I have been bitten by a native centipede before, itchy bite area, nothing major, but i dont trust anything with more than six legs... They gotta be upto somethin to have all those extras... Dont worry, i'm odd i know :smile:
