Presenting our second (known) domestic animal:

„Scuti“ (Scutigera coleoptrata)

A welcome guest to our household as it helps with all other pests.
Has had a good season and doubled in size, pretty sure that’s why we didn’t have an issue with 🐜 🐜 🐜..

Yep, this creature may drive some up the walls, but it is nearly harmless to humans (they can sting apparently) and they‘re usually just calmly sitting and waiting for prey that they will go for in an amazing speed.

Please: Don‘t see this special insect as a pest.

I have waited months to take a pic of it 😊

Hope the two missing legs will grow again soon.
