Description:
Tan colored with dark stripes along it's back. This frightening looking centipede is a beneficial insectivore feeding on household pests. This one seems to have gotten caught up in a piece of hair and expired in our basement.
Habitat:
Outdoors in cool, moist places. Inside in most any room that is humid, often baths and basements.
Notes:
Good to have around as they eat many destructive household pests.
