A house centipede waiting to drop on my head in the bathroom. I named it Maggie Gallagher.
Generally harmless to humans, they are a species originally from the Mediterranean region.

What do you mean by “generally?” I hate these things. I’ll usually kill one or two of them a week in my apartment in the warmer months.

They do a great job of controlling other creepy crawlies that share human dwellings.

House centipedes are really good for keeping the ants away. I used to have one named Anna Goldstein, but she perished in a squishing accident. I don’t see them around here much anymore, thanks to Chuck.

What a coincidence. We had a huge, nasty roof rat living in our attic, and we named it Maggie Gallagher. Our exterminator came and took Maggie away. We were glad to see Maggie go.
