I had no idea they were venomous! Creepy indeed and I can see why you have vivid memories of seeing them as a small child and not being able to communicate what you had seen to anyone. Creepy creepy creepy!

Yes, even at that young age I knew that I couldn't call it a "worm", because Mom taught us that worms don't have legs. And whenever I would see one, it was already gone by the time we got the attention of an adult to check out what it was that spooked us. Good thing I did not think to get down on the floor and attempt to pick it up. Yes, creepy but beautiful, just like this Indian Tiger Centipede.
We have the much smaller and less attractive house centipedes here and thankfully, I very seldom see one in my house. I will not be convinced that they are anything but creepy/nasty!
