This dude is your friend! Do not kill him!
Although their ability to run at close to 50 cm/sec. will scare the shit out of your ass, this magnificient product of evolution is a top house predator that will rid your apartment of many parasites. The Scutigère can make 90degree turns and even jump off furnitures. I once tried putting a leash on one I captured but it kept running against it and eventually it lost all of its 30 legs. The poor thing turned into a chenille and never learned to crawl. Scutigère Véloce, remember this name.

I have tons of them at home. Finally, something to rid my crotch of parasites!!!
It's also an anthropod, not an insect, so it's the same family as a crab.
Thank you for posting this. They used to creep the fuck out of me, now I love them. No more killing them.
You love them because of Rammstein, right?
"ASHE, ZU ASHE, UND STOM, ZU STOM."
Hehehe, I've actually never been a fan of Rammstein.
technically all insects are arthropods but not all arthropods are insects. these things are different classes (chilopoda and insecta). In otherwords centipedes, like arachnids, are not considered to be insects.
/the more you know.
Bousch! Candyman takes one in the FACE!
