The house centipede is a long-legged, yellowish-grey centipede that often shares homes with people. It comes from the Mediterranean region and has spread across much of the world. It is fast, has very long legs, and eats household pests, so it is useful to have around.1

Početna

Outdoors, it prefers cool, damp places such as under rocks, woodpiles, bark dust, and piles of leaves or compost. Indoors, it is found mostly in dark or dimly lit areas such as basements and garages, and also in bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and offices. It often emerges during garden watering, and it is most often seen in spring and autumn.1

Što jede?

It eats spiders, bed bugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants and other household arthropods. It hunts mostly at night, relying mainly on its antennae, and catches prey by jumping onto it or by using its legs in a 'lassoing' technique.1

Otrovna snaga

Ugrizi

Otrov izlazi kroz očnjake ili zube kad ugrize.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

It has a mild venom, which it injects through small claw-like structures called forcipules. Its venom is used mainly to subdue prey. In a bite on a person, the effect is limited to mild pain and swelling in the local area, similar to a bee sting.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

House centipedes pose essentially no threat to people. They are not aggressive and usually flee when disturbed. Stings are rare and usually happen only when the centipede is cornered or handled roughly. Their forcipules have difficulty penetrating human skin. Allergic reactions have been reported but are rare, and nearly all successful bites heal quickly without complications.1

Što radi kad se uplaši?

When disturbed, it usually runs away quickly, and it can detach any legs that have become trapped.1

Ako ugrize

Operi ugriz, ohladi ga ili ga namoči u toploj vodi protiv boli i potraži liječničku pomoć ako se pogorša.

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ugrize: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice

It can detach its own legs if they become trapped, which helps it escape danger.1

It can tell harmful prey from safe prey, and it changes how it feeds depending on the danger. With wasps, it retreats after stinging to let the venom take effect.1

Its tail-like hind legs look like antennae, so when it is at rest it is hard to tell its head end from its tail end.1

Unlike most centipedes, it has well-developed faceted eyes, although it hunts mostly by smell and touch through its antennae.1

Its blood contains proteins that carry oxygen, which is unusual among centipedes.1

It can live its whole life inside a building, usually on the ground floor of homes.1
