I'm really interested in seeing more dangerous bugs in this thread. I want to see what they look like.

I used to have such a fascination with bugs when I was younger.

Giant centipede found
British Natural History Museum expert Stuart Hine displays a giant centipede that was found in a north London home. Aaron Balick, 32, trapped the venomous creature in a plastic box after he found it behind his TV and took it to the Natural History Museum. There, experts identified it as "Scolopendra gigantea" -- the world's largest species of centipede. The creature measured nine inches long by just under an inch wide, not including its legs. It normally lives in South America and the Caribbean. Its sting can cause a blistering rash, nausea and a temperature, and in rare cases, death.
