Found it in my sink! Never seen one of these before. Looks like some kind of centipede.

its called a house centipede, its harmless to humans

it eats spyders and other bug larva, they like basements and damp areas

google "house centipede" and it will give you the low down

It reminds me of the little creatures the Alien makes in Alien vs Predator.


You know...the one that jumps up and sucks on your face? :(

yup its a house centipede. you got lucky those little *******s are usually huge. had a few in my house. they like wet dark places. just get some centipede gel that you squeeze along the edges of your walls and that should get rid of em.

House Centipedes like all Centipedes are VENOMOUS. Although bites from House Centipedes are uncommon they do happen. The bites normally don't cause more than temporary, localized pain. Think of it as a Bee that walks!

My old apartment was loaded with them. They creeped me out. I told our land lord numerous times but she kept saying that it wasn't possible that her building had bugs.
