House centipedes
Scientific name: Scutigeridae
Description
Members of the Scutigeridae family, challenge the typical disdain many feel for their multi-legged counterparts by being one of the most beneficial arthropods to inhabit our homes. Contrary to the alarm they often provoke due to their swift movements and eerie appearance, these creatures are potent allies in controlling pests such as roaches and flies. These centipedes possess an extraordinary ability to adapt to human environments, making them a fascinating subject for study in urban ecology. Rather than the pests they are often mistaken for, they provide a natural method for pest control, helping maintain a healthier living environment.
