…so I tried pairing some house centipedes to observe their mating behavior, and picked a very large old male that must be 6 or 7 years old and a younger but very large female. everything seemed to be going well with the courtship dance but when the male tried to produce a spermatophore to offer it came out wonky and he fled the corner to hide. I found him dead today.. died of embarrassment I guess

rest in peace Old Moseley glad you got one last dance in even if it killed you (?)

@keioroni submitted: Hello yes this creature was found in my institute in [redact please] [removed]

We were careful not to step on it, since it eats cockroaches and we have a mutual hatred for them

What is this creature?

It's a house centipede! You are right that they are very useful for eating household pests, so they're nice to have around :)
