      When I found out that these guys ate spiders as a kid I was super upset I needed to pick sides in the bug war. I chose spiders specifically because I didn’t trust anything that ran away from me that fast. The spiders didn’t have anything to hide.

          Wait what? $5 footlongs are only like 6.5 inches long? Not that there’s anything wrong with that length. It’s above average really.

          Weirdly enough there are studies about how millipedes and centipedes move their feet.

    I honestly wouldn’t care if it stayed at one or two of them, but I know if I leave these things and treat them as pets I will get an infestation in no time.

    And with each new one the chances of me feeling one of them walk on my arm increases, and I am not letting that happen.

      They are also territorial and won’t actually eliminate a roach infestation because they will kill each other long before they reach sufficient density to make a difference.

        Meh, don’t need them to end an infestation. Just killing the few roaches that might exist somewhere around is enough to pay their rent.

        If I find one close to my face on the other hand, the place it considered territory would be wiped off the map. It would become an endangered species.

          Same. What we refer to as “centipedes” also looks a lot more like millipedes with less legs. So, their body is longer and the legs shorter.

Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
