Centipedes !

  Centipedes have been around for years. The first time they were to be reported was 1849 in Pennsylvania. Today they are found throughout the United States. They can annoy you, but are not a threat to health. Centipedes have so many legs allowing them to move with fast speed. Having so many legs gave them the nickname "hundred leggers". Even though they don't bite, Centipedes have poison glands and a way to inject venom. During the day they like to hide. At night they come to hunt silverfish, roaches,spiders and other creatures. To some their look may be scary, but they do not want to cause harm.

  Centipedes are said to have 15 to 177 pairs of legs. That's a lot of legs. These legs are long and flat , the may even seem worm at first glance. The colors can range from dark brown to a yellowish color. Some centipedes have darker stripes on their body. 

 These animals are more active during the night then during the day. They prefer places like your bathroom, crawlspaces, and potted plants. Other places they can be found are rotting logs, under rocks, even your trash !
