House Centipedes

So I like to think that I'm not a wimp when it comes to bugs and other things that most girls don't like. I don't like spiders, but I will kill them without freaking out. But when we moved to Michigan a couple of years ago, I discovered a new "pest" that really freaks me out. I decided that i would share with you, because I just went into the basement and saw one. This is the only bug that I have met that I do not just kill right away-- i have to talk myself into it. My first reaction is to run back upstairs, but that never works out, because I was going into the basement for a reason, so I always have to turn around and go back. If Josh is around, I make him kill them for me, but if not, it's all up to me. Gross! I found out that it is a house centipede the first time I saw one. I spent a long time searching google for different bugs-- I wanted to make sure that it wasn't poisonous! Luckily, these bugs prefer the basement-- I have only seen one upstairs (knock on wood!) so I don't encounter them very often! Aren't they creepy looking??
