House Centipede

House centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on August 22, 2023. Originating in the Mediterranean region, the house centipede has spread to other parts of the world, where it can live in human homes. It is an insectivore (it kills and eats other arthropods, such as insects and arachnids) and its delicate legs enable it to reach surprising speeds running across floors, up walls and along ceilings.
