    If so, then it's a centipede. I grew up with them, and have seen them throughout my life.

    They're fairly harmless. Like spiders, they eat other bugs in your house. They'll even eat spiders, and most annoying begs like cockroaches. They spend a huge portion of their time sitting still, and like to climb walls. They also like cool, dark places.

    By the way, I'd prefer if you edited out your email. If we keep all the discussion and answers on the board, others may be helped as well.
