Centipedes definitely aren’t beautiful—they have lots of legs, long bodies, and creepy antennae. When many people see a centipede, their initial reaction is to kill it, but you may want to think twice about squashing a centipede next time you find one in your home. Even though they are one of the most hated things in the world, centipedes are actually quite fascinating. For example, house centipedes are made up a group of similar species of centipedes, not just one species, but most centipedes have a yellow tint on their bodies.
