>For no reason
The lad's just trying to get from point A to point B.
Do you expect him to instant transmission?
>>
>>4830800
I just watched one of these take out several flies that were around my carnivorous plants.
>>
>>4830805
Your plant is going to starve now
>>
>>4830806
I went out to bring them inside for the night and I decided to leave them out there for a bit longer because of how much they were catching.
>>
>>4830800
I wish I had more of these than spiders. Spiders are such lazy campers and all they do here half the year is cannibalize each other.
>>
>>4830800
This is so mesmerizing to watch. It’s not just me right? Somehow I wish we had these instead of regular centipedes
>>
>>4830804
I'm not convinced they know where they're going
>>
>>4830800
They're cute and awesome!
>>
>>4830800
Theu have a reason. Sometimes its to hunt. Sometimes its to have sex, something you never had, sometimes it's to lay their eggs to make more of them to annoy you.
>>
>>4830946
That doesn't mean they know where they are going. They just start skittering in a direction randomly
>>
>>4831151
you’re right
both kinds of centipedes have shitty eyesight and have to rely on vibrations to know where they’re going
>>
>>4831187
Insects creep me out. They just roam around without a soul or brain just pure instinct and reactions to stimulus.
>>
>>4831196
Living embodiemnts of the Id. You find them unsettling because they have an element of familarity despite being inhuman
>>
>>4831199
No I find them to be extremely gross and alien
>>
>>4830800
He just another pest control bro, like spiders they hunt and kill the things you really don't want in your home like roaches and even help to keep spider numbers in check. house centipedes get left alone to do their thing.
>>

not all spiders web camp. many like the wolf spider and jumping spiders are active hunters that seek out and attack prey. jumpers are my favorite
>>
>>4831151
You have four walls. It's not like they have much else to go.
It's just like geckos. They just move and hope your mother doesn't kill them with her chancla.
>>
>>4831256
They are the brown recluses here in Europe. Basically the only venomous critter I haver had an allergic reaction to.
>>
>>4831273
>chancla
I used to have a tough ass, MMA-fighter Puerto Rican employee who told me that no matter how good he is at fucking motherfuckers up, he'll always be terrified of little brown women holding sandals.
At first, I thought he was joking but he assured me he was dead serious. He said that Hispanics whose mommas didn't take off their chanclas to whoop that ass are the ones that become criminals. The test of them aren't afraid of prison time. They're afraid their moms will find out and beat them with a wooden chancla.
>>4830800
I don't mind them unless they come near my bed when I'm about to sleep. Then I have to smashysmashy
>>
>>4830825
Yeah the metachronal wave is fuckin great to just stare at.
>>
>>4831256
>doesn’t afraid of anything
Except their actually dangerous cousins.
>>4831275
Really? How bad was it?
>>
>>4830800
these cunts are the reason why I let spiders roam free, if you have spiders you don't have silverfish
honestly given the state of my apartment (150+ years old, some damp), I'm surprised I've never seen them
>>
>>4831282
>He said that Hispanics whose mommas didn't take off their chanclas to whoop that ass are the ones that become criminals.
Well. He was right, in a way.
>>
>>4831306
>metachronal wave
Didn’t know it had a name. Fascinating, thanks
>>
>>4831266
I didn't know spiders could teleport
>>
>>4831540
I believed it when he said it. It just made sense. Especially the part about staying away from criminality not because he was afraid of jail but because he was afraid of his mom and her chancla
I just remembered, and this sounded like child abuse at the time, that he told me that if he held his arms up to block the sandal, his mom would say "oh, you gonna put your hands up to me?!" and whoop that ass even worse.
Hard to believe because I met the woman and she was a sweetheart.
>>4831341
That's not a silverfish.
>>
The spiders I see in my house are a lot smaller than the full grown house centipedes so I'm not sure who eats who
>>
>>4831341
retard that's a house centipede, they EAT spiders.
>>
>>4831341
So spiders even eat silverfish that often?
>>
>>4831332
>Really? How bad was it?
An arm spread rash. That's about it for venomous animals in Europe thank God.
>>
>>4831341
Don't listen to this anon >>4831710
Let more spiders in, as many as you can.
>>
I heard they can actually bite people if mishandled and it's pretty painful
>>
>>4831940
Ah. Shitty but could have been worse. You guys are lucky in that regard.
>>4832055
They can definitely bite, but it seems comparable to a bee sting at worst, maybe even less, although I’ve heard it can be worse for some people
>>
>>4830800
Reminds me of the fluorescent flower from bloodborne
>>
I rented a condo once that had these fuckers. I don’t kill insects but these made the grade. I had a small cordless vacuum that had a detachable motor so you could pick up things directly into the collection area. It caught big spiders without harming them. These big bastards wouldn’t fit generally and had to die. The smaller ones that would got to live.

Before any of you assholes @ me, no I don’t care that you’re triggered about it. I don’t understand why people here get upset about here but they do.
>theyre pest control
This is the gayest shit I ever heard. If I find bugs pests, why wouldn’t I find bugs pests? I don’t want any of them. Maybe if you live in a shithole and have roaches or something, I dunno. All I know is they’re creepy as shit and I’m thankful I don’t have to deal with them anymore.
>>
>>4833657
The what?
>>4833664
They're pretty fragile actually. I tried to pick one up with some tissue paper and it turned to dust.

This is not the way. You must try to dodge the chancla and then run like the wind. But this maneuver also has its risks. I once saw my aunt knock my cousin off her bike with a flying sandal, boomerang style.
>>
>>4831647
There’s something about the Hispanic mind that needs strict discipline or else it acts out, so yeah it’s pretty much necessary,
>>4833657
The what?
>>4833664
Yeah if I had to have some kind of natural “pest control” I’d want it to be a lizard and not one of these things
Sadly I have regular centipedes instead and those are worse in like every way so I just kill them too
>>
>>4830800
I had one of these in my apartment and it would jumpscare me randomly in the night.
One time it came out in broad daylight moving with an odd jittery motion much more slowly than it usually does. I later saw it torn in half on the floor of my hallway. Probs had a horrific parasite inside or something and now there's a huge horsehair worm lurking somewhere in my apartment
>>
>>4834020
>There’s something about the Hispanic mind...
Yeah, probably. I'm from Europe originally so I'm not as familiar with Hispanics and their various cultures as people who are from this side of the pond and grew up around them.
>>4831940
We have various vipers in my country as we as black widows and something we call the "violin spider" because we as a country are known for violins and these spiders are known to hide in violins. They're called the "Mediterranean recluse" in English. There's plenty of venomous animals in Europe.
