House centipedes. They have a lot of fast delicate legs and are quite creepy. I think they eat spiders.

    These little guys can live for up to 7 years so be sweet to them.

    I look at them like this: If a company made a little robot that does it's best to stay hidden from your view, crawls through the innards of your home in search of spiders, bed bugs, termites, and ants, it would probably cost thousands of dollars.

    In my experience, I see them an awful lot for something trying to stay hidden. I get them in my basement and they inevitably come upstairs. My cats try to eat them when they come upstairs. I also have spiders in my basement. So they aren't doing the best job at eating all the spiders.

    I moved in (and quickly out of) a place infested with critters I had never even heard of (wtf is a carpet beetle). The day I moved in, there was a house centipede and a sizeable spider in the bathub, fighting to the death. I didn't know which side to take so I left them alone. I came back later to find them both ostensibly dead and not moving. I came back even later to find the centipede gone but the spider still dead. I felt like David Attenborough. I still think about those lil gladiators sometimes
