I got bitten by this hell spawn. I was sleeping and I guess I was stretching my leg and laid my leg on top of this thing.

I have never felt so much pain in my life. It felt like my skin was melting and burning at the same time. For the next few weeks, the bite mark would randomly start to puss and random shots of pain.

I'd rather have roaches. At least with roaches, they don't bite.

Standard house centipedes (I'm pretty sure that's what's in this comic) aren't supposed to have a very painful bite. You may have been bitten by a different kind of centipede, or maybe had an allergic reaction, for your pain to be so severe.

There should be a fifth panel that’s says:

“Your chances are worse when you look like that.”

Then there should also be a sixth panel with the "I'm fast as fuck boyyy" meme

Despite the name, no centipede has exactly 100 pairs of legs; number of legs ranges from 15 pairs to 191 pairs, always an odd number. (wikipedia)

wtf is going on with these guys

I mean, I have an odd number of leg pairs. You probably do too?

I got stung/bit by one of those little bastards once in the shower. Usually they don't bother humans and their mouth stingers(kind of like legs that are turned into venomous fangs for killing other bugs) can't really go deep enough, but I guess this one got motivated once he started drowning and crawled up my leg.

House centipede. It may, possibly, be hellspawn.

Creepiest house bug ever. I let them be because they eat other bugs.

If you ever see a lot of them you’ve got another problem, that means they have a lot to eat. Could be an infestation of other bugs like roaches or a dead animal in the walls.

But... not for long, so problem solved soon, right? Right?

They also eat jumping spiders, which is why I kill them.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Spider is arguably less effective in terms of big-bug-eating, but I would choose spiders over that nightmare fuel any day.

Have you ever seen that thing dead in your sink, all soaked wet? I swear that's can't be something originate from earth.

My theory is that when you have too many nightmares in one night and the horror doesn't have anywhere to go, the nightmare takes shape and one of these crawls out of you

I hate you for this
