Looks like a house centipede to me. Something for scale would be useful

Hmm yes, could be, thanks! As i read, they do exist here where i live.

For scale: Small and big spoons..?

[-] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 year ago

Banana for scale. This isnt the dark ages

Gee! I didn't notice the spoons until you mentioned it, sorry! Must be a very small centipede then. Fully grown ones are about 10cm long, and they are very, very, very very fast. (But harmless)

Ah ok! havent seen them around here alive anywhere, maybe cause they re nightactive, as i read.. The spoons are not too obvious in the pic, so understandable. Thank you again for all the info

Neither did i, thought i was looking at a giant bug i hadn't seen before!
