    This things can move. The first time I ever saw one torpedo out from under my bed I nearly died of a heart attack.

      They hunt and eat all other bad insects from your house, like spiders on steroids.

      They’re the good guys.

      I have so much respect for them but they make my skin crawl. They’re so cool and helpful and they’ve been known to beat their prey with their legs which is just wild. Also they kind of have pretty faces?

    I remember mentioning these once and a friend of mine said, “imagine if they were the size of dogs,” and now I always do, and I’d prefer not to.
