Its a house centipede. I believe I read once they actually sting you and might crawl inside you :? I was greeted by one on my pillow and its the size of a pencil!

I'm so glad the image didn't display. I hate bugs. And to answer the question no I wouldn't, if I know there's a bug in my room I don't sleep until it's dead.

They're creepy, but I'd carry it out of my room with a sheet of paper or something.

No I would not be happy with the fact there is a demon in my room, I will scream the loudest scream and I will not sleep for 6 days. I will kill everyone of these children of Satan until they are extinct.

I dont if its that kind but I know its a called a house centipede. They run hella fast and are almost hard to notice when they dont move. Two long pointy like fangs on top that stick out.

UPDATE: I believe this is the specific one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutigera

heres a couple of fun facts (well then again, its wikipedia) : They can reach surprising speeds of up to 406 mm (16.0 in) per second running across floors, up walls and along ceilings. House centipedes lay their eggs in Spring. Since its Spring, its probably the reason im now noticing them. They usually hide in the winter. House centipedes feed on spiders, bedbugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants and other household arthropods. They administer venom through modified legs. These are not part of their mandibles, so strictly speaking they sting rather than bite. Despite their developed eyes they seem to rely mostly on their antennae when hunting. They use both their mandibles and their legs for holding prey. This way they can deal with several small insects at the same time. (They can multi-task :shock: ) To capture prey they either jump onto it or use their legs in a technique described as "lassoing". For wasps they retreated after applying the venom to give it time to take effect. When the Centipede is in danger of becoming prey itself, it can detach any legs that have gotten trapped. :shock:

While I hate spiders, quite a few ladybugs (10 or so) have taken up residence in my room. They're small, they keep out of my way, they don't look gross, and they prey on other insects, so I've decided to let them stay.

If I found one in the room I would kill it, remove it, etc. If I find another one I would wig out and call pest control. Paranoia ftw?

I had one on my wall, grabbed a tissue and smushed its head off, it then proceeded to run around the ground and actually dodged my attacks with no head. ridiculous, i hate them especially when they come out of freaking no where.

I actually made peace with them and the spiders in my apartment. You see, we had cockroaches at one point so I decided to let the spiders and house centipedes flourish to help with the problem.

Funny thing is, haven't seen a single roach since November!!!!
