Centipedes —book and bolt!— along dry ground, are creepy ugly, and revolting, make you want to do nothing other chase them down and squash them before those critters escape the light and vanish under the stairs or along a footboard or crack in a wall covering panel.
The fact that this guy dives down into dark underwater caves to find the same kind of creepy critter, and not to just kill it, but to preserve it and study it, shows that not everybody is alike!
I used to play with them as a child, not knowing the danger.....
I’ve read that centipedes are spider hunters. The spiders come after other bugs and centipedes come after the spiders. Centipedes have jaws and other mouth parts, but have rarely been known to bite humans. I’d rather not have them around either, though.
