is it ok to post about other little arthropod friends itt? they get a bad rap but im a big fan of house centipedes, they're like lil housecats (fast ambush predator, loves warmth, spends significant time grooming itself, free pest control) also they use their own legs to lasso bugs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAheSfKEbHAquote:After dining, centipedes clean themselves. They have a grooming structure near the mouth. It’s a groove covered with hairs through which antennae and legs can be passed to remove dust and dirt. They clean their appendages from the base to the tip in a meticulous and unchanging order, starting with the antenna then legs on one side of the body, from front to back. After one side is done, they do the other. And they keep track; if interrupted while grooming, the centipede resumes where it left off. If a leg is missing, the centipede will try to clean it when its turn comes.

since we're branching out into other misunderstood crawlies i want to give a shoutout to one of my favorite groups of insects, Robber Flies! these guys are true badasses of the insect world, hunting potentially deadly (to them) insects like bees and other agile aerial predators like dragonflies on the wing, among other more mundane flying insects like houseflies. They have really powerful legs for wrangling prey and the dainty bristly mustache on their face hides their mouth parts which are basically a giant retractable stiletto for stabbing other bugs  some species are mimics, including several which mimic bees (all the better to eat you with!)  hello yes, um, dont mind me! i am a bee too!  classic asilidae feeding pose, just hanging out!
