Centipedes are beneficial bugs that eat other insects and I have to wonder what has attracted them to these pots. I would try to avoid killing them because if you kill the predator the prey might increase their numbers.


They COULD be centipedes but I thought centipedes were faster than these guys. They are pretty slow. Considering how MANY of them they were I AM worried... although if this plant were outside I would be worried less Smiling I'm shivering just thinking about them lurking behind me as I type this ;)
