Seconded. I don’t need a home as badly as that needs to stop existing.

But tbh unless it moved I would probably just assume Starlet was trying to prank me with one of his toys, and stumble back to bed.

Probably name it and start paying its vet bills.

Find a very large plastic container and a piece of cardboard similar size of the plastic container. Spend 10 min summoning up the courage to capture the bloody thing. Once captured, take outside quite a distance from the house, and then setting free by throwing both container and cardboard, for collecting later when sure it has moved on. I do this with our local huntsmans.

Adopt it. My bathroom is literally crawling with centipedes and I always walk in barefoot.

I can’t stand centipedes but I love spiders. Do you know that spiders eat cockroaches?

A house with a lot of spiders has no roaches.

In seriousness it would be a shame to kill it, it’s a beautiful specimen. I’d probably trap it and get it to more of an appropriate area.

I grew up surrounded by insects, grandfather has a few degrees dealing with all kinds of creepy crawlers.

I remember a friend coming over and we had a few African giant centipede. Smelled horrible, but so cool feeling all those legs crawling up my arms.

Another favorite of mine was we got a couple of praying mantis egg clutches. Tiny little green alien babies swarming my play kit. In the summer they were fun to watch and try to feed.

I have once held over 50 thousand lady bugs. Walking stick bugs. Some bee keeping.

Lots of stories.

In my group home in 1980 they drove us to Big Sur to camp.
Me and a counselor heard of some natural hot springs and we hiked 20 miles through the mountains to find those hot springs.

When we finally reached them they were full of naked hippies. We sat around for half an hour waiting for them to leave but they didn’t leave so we turned around and started back to our camp. Instead of hiking through those windy mountain trails we went back “as the crow flies”and went back by wading a few miles through a river.

Anyways we went around some rocks and we couldn’t believe our eyes, there were ladybugs covering
these huge rocks. Like millions of them. It freaked us out a little, we had never seen something like that before, an amazing sight. We stood there for awhile like we had discovered the “fabled lost
ladybug breeding grounds” or something. I’ve never seen something like that ever again
