Man Finds Venomous Giant Centipede In His Apartment

LONDON - Aaron Balick expected to find a tiny mouse stirring around behind the TV in his apartment. Instead, he found a venomous giant centipede that somehow made its way from South America to Britain.

He trapped the 9-inch-long creature between a stack of books and put it in a plastic container.

“Thinking it was a mouse, I went to investigate the sound,” Balick said Wednesday. “The sound was coming from under some papers which I lifted, expecting to see the mouse scamper away.

“Instead, when I lifted the papers, I saw this prehistoric looking animal skitter away behind a stack of books.”

The next day Balick, 32, took it to Britain’s Natural History Museum, which identified the insect as a Scolopendra gigantea - the world’s biggest species of centipede. Read full story
