Ah hah, name that bug

Warning! This post is not for the faint of heart. We have been seeing this insect with about 14 legs with a long skinny body, with tails coming out both sides. It is about 1 1/2-2 inches long and very vast. SO far it has been on our dinning room wall and bathrrom floor. It looks like a mix between a spider and a centipede. I have lived in old houses my whole life and have never seen it. Last night we captured one to look it up on the internet. It seems that out house is home to a house centipede. Apparently they are very common, and more helpful than harmful. They don’t bite and eat spiders and other bugs. So the mystery is solved. But before I knew I was thinking that we had found a new species.
