What insect disgusts you the most?
More commonly known as the house centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata absolutely disgusts my wife. Turns out, though, they eat cockroaches, flies, moths, earwigs, even small spiders—all pests we don’t necessarily want in our basements and bathrooms. Other than their unsightly nature—looking like an amalgamation of a giant bacteria, and a creature from an exoplanet you don’t want to live on—they are harmless to humans. I don’t so much mind them, though, despite how quickly they can move. I’m much more disgusted by spiders, even when they’re motionless and lonesome in their silky webs. Even though spiders aren’t insects by the taxonomical definition, I’m using the pop culture vernacular. And, God forbid, if one silently descends upon me like a death-defying Cirque Du Soleil acrobat on an aerial silk. I rest assured, though, that of the 45,000 known species of spiders, only 25 are social species. So there’s little need to worry that seeing one spider in your house mandates there be 1000s more. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware there are certainly 1000s more in my house, but they’re not all members of some secret cabal planning my imminent demise.
