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.
Good point! Their spider-hunting ways, though also creepy, are also, ultimately, endearing to the bulk of us who would prefer not to share our living space with spiders!
We kind of get along with Orca (killer) whales...so...
Maybe we should cut centipedes a break then.
They can’t help how ugly they are.
