If you read boingboing you probably caught this article about a guy who found a Venezuelan centipede in his London home. Well that’s all disgusting enough.

But I’m watching David Attenborough’s ‘Life in the Undergrowth’ just now and he told me the real dirt on these foot-long beasts.

They catch bats in flight and eat them. Bats. Seriously. They climb up a cave wall, and hang there to catch a passing bat. And they’re poisonous.

It makes cockroaches look kinda cute.
