I often hear that house centipedes have “too many legs” from people who aren’t as fond of all the Appendage as I am.

however, did you know that they aren’t born with all those legs?

this little bug nugget is an hours-old baby house centipede, with only 4 legs to her name!

as she grows, she’ll add a pair or two each time she molts her exoskeleton, until she reaches 15 pairs in the sequence 4-5-7-9-11-13-15. the purple capsule at her butt is a legless segment where the new ones will come in when they’re ready!

house centipedes can grow all their legs in just one summer, but will probably not be sexually mature for another year or two. since they keep slowly molting and growing after adulthood, some of the huge, ancient ones you see might be over 5 years old—what secrets the elder basement fairies must know, gleaned from cobwebs and crevices

the most wonderfully calm and polite allothereua maculata i have ever met. usually they're incredibly scrambly and run around in an understandable panic but this guy was chilling in a crevice in some fallen bark. wonderful.

house centipedes deserve more love. they're so cool.

DNI if you want to talk about how much you hate or are scared of centipedes. make your own post.

Thereuonema time. she was really chill, found em in an abandoned lot under some discarded metal sheeting.

I see this species get confused with the smaller, lighter house centipede they share the same range with quite often. The smaller of the two being Scutigera coleoptrata.

eye level with a crevice angel, Thereuonema tuberculata.

a sweet pet of mine, graciously sitting still for the camera. I think he has a nice smile

@facets-and-rainbows submitted: No ID needed, just wanted to share the ABSOLUTE UNIT of a house centipede who lives in my garage. We’ve seen him twice now, he’s basically a pet at this point.

Big beautiful leggy friend! If you see them again please tell them I love them :)

My research partner (the house centipede - Scutigera coleoptrata) with my favorite flower. House centipedes pay rent with labor, eating cockroaches and any other bugs they might find. They’re also clean little houseguests - they carefully groom themselves, one leg at a time.
