You know, other centipedes don't bother me, nor millipedes. But those guys? Well, I've only seen one of those once, when I lived in Portland. It was back before I cared much about bugs, and yes, I did hunt it down & kill it because I knew I wouldn't sleep for imagining it crawling across me. Something about the way those legs move, and how quickly it moves, give me the absolute shivers.
These days I know they're useful, so I'd do the same as I do with spiders in my house, which is attempt to capture it and relocate it outside. (Spiders in webs that aren't immediately in my way are actually considered roomates for weeks or months, until I next get around to deep cleaning, at which point, well, if they were interacted with enough to earn a name, they get relocated, and if I'm feeling kindly, they're relocated. Otherwise they go to the great vacuum cleaner in the sky).
