    its called “Stridulation” and its something a lot of centipedes can do.

    scared the crap out of me the first time I heard it when I was trying to put one in a cup and take it outside. lol

        you know? that’s fair. but it also made me extremely nervous when I hadn’t been moments before.

        went from skittering around panicking to “I will mess you up >=( I’m dangerous! HISSSSS! LOOK HOW SCARY!”

          For a sec I though you were making a joke and talking as the centipede (in first person).

            the quote was meant to be from the centipede, yes.
