House centipedes are the friendliest of home bugs. And they have a million legs!
Tiny eldritch horror! They way they move is so freaky. Especially since they are always in my bathtub. One time i opened my door for a package bam came right in the front door.
Hahaha heck yeah. They’re insane, leggy terrors who don’t want to/can’t hurt me. I had a pet one when I lived with my folks a million years ago, u der their chest freezer. I named him Petey. He was missing one of his million legs. I loved him.
I’m terrified of everything and violence is the default. I blame my mom for watching so many horror movies when I was a kid. One time I was work and saw a shadow scurry by my foot, panicked, and immediately stepped on it. Was a mouse.
Okay but adults can choose to undo a bad habit. It doesnt take that long, maybe a month. It helps to learn about the bugs and what they do, how they live.
If I were in your shoes I think the accidental mouse killing would have been a catalyst for that. Ive never killed an animal though and I’m already vegan, so theres no way to know for sure.
