I was forced to be brave far too early this morning, when I found a sucker just like this on my wall!
He was much too large to smash, would have definitely stained the wall (eeeww!) so I captured him under a wine glass, slid a piece of cardboard under the opening, and released him outside. that centipede was fast, too. It sprang to action a little too late, after I'd already gotten the glass over him.
I then spent a good five minutes online trying to find out what the heck it was. Turns out it was a house centipede.
What gross bugs have you encountered? Post pics, please if you can.
