When it comes to the house centipede, many friends who have lived in the countryside will be familiar with it, because most people saw this kind of bug when they were children! The house centipede is a close relative of the centipede and also a member of the centipede family, but the house centipede is much smaller than the centipede, with only fifteen pairs of legs!

House centipedes like to live in damp places in houses. Although the house centipede looks a bit scary and many people stay far away when they see one, it is actually a beneficial insect that can prey on pests and is good for agricultural production! During the day, house centipedes hide in rotten wood or decaying leaves to rest, and only come out at night to move around and forage. Common insects, spiders and the like can all serve as food for the house centipede!

This kind of bug has no chance of being seen in the city, but it could be seen everywhere in the countryside in the past, and house centipedes are even more active in spring! So, can everyone still see this kind of bug at home now? If so, then we need to pay attention, because the appearance of this kind of bug indicates that there is a problem with the sanitary conditions in our home!

Some unnecessary things at home, or items that have not been used for a long time, should either be thrown away or taken out to dry in the sun, because these things are the places house centipedes like to gather most! Although the house centipede is a beneficial insect, if you find one at home, do not casually play with it, because the house centipede contains venom! The ends of the house centipede's forcipules are claw-shaped, and the tips of the claws have many venom gland openings that can secrete venom. If humans come into contact with this venom, it will cause stinging pain and discomfort, and can also cause blisters!

Nowadays, the level of housing decoration is getting higher and higher. Whether in the countryside or in the city, it is hard to see house centipedes anymore, because today's residential sanitary conditions are far better than before! Life is better than before, but many small animals that could once be seen everywhere have now disappeared!
