Eeeaaauuuuggghh... I grew up in Hawaii. THAT is a centipede. I don't know what those house centipede things are, but they look like wusses compared to Mr (or Miss) scolopendra up there.

(disclaimer, I know what a house centipede is, they have lots of legs and are creepy, but they're little kids in sheets next to the terror that scolopendra subspinipes causes in me XD)

(oh and yes, they hurt like a bastard, and will try and eat your face.)
