[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t usually kill house bugs tbh, usually just move them outside, unless mosquito etc.  Don’t get many bugs.

Approaching midnight tonight I found a centipede in the sink, and I slipped him into a big yogurt container and dropped him outside. He scurried off to the sounds of crickets etc.

Presumably this large centipede had lived his whole prior life inside my house, and he may be in for something of a shock out there. Is he going to get eaten immediately?

I’m sort of wondering if I should have just moved him to the basement.  At lease he’s free now and will have an adventure?

Realize I’m worrying too much about a bug but, you know, we all just have our “one wild and precious life” etc (thank you, Mary Oliver).

Tell me, what else should I have done?[/quote]

Read up on them and their habitats and lifestyles. I'd assume if there is some leaf or mulch and a humid area under some shrubs by the house it might do ok.

Life is extremely dangerous and brutal for most living things. Humans usually never think about how easy we have it. [/quote]
