We've got those here too. They are harmless. Well, not totally, their bite can raise a bit of a welt, sorta like a mosqitio bite but it's mildly painful instead of itchy. But compared to a Brown Recluse it's no contest.
CHAOS! PANIC! DISORDER!

The centipedes around here look more like tank bugs from SST, and aren't fuzzy like that. Here, you can visibly see their pinchers. Dear God, those things bite like a pair of rusted bolt cutters loaded with poison. Little guys bite the worst. They have the most poison in their bite, because they don't gauge their poison output, just bite with everything.

Never been bitten by centipedes and know little about them so I'm always wary of them.

No, you don't. You wont find this kind of Scutigera in a house. They're found in the Gomantong Caves in Borneo, although they're known to inhabit many dark places along the equator. Their bite/sting is extremely painful, it's a definite hospital visit upon receiving one. The ones you find are tiny and largely harmless, these are MUCH larger, and they're stupid fast, getting a shot of a moving one was nearly impossible. Anyway, this is about the scariest bugs, not necessarily the most deadly. I saw this thing on TV, a show called the Deadly 60. What scared me was the legs and their speed, and the fact that there were hundreds of them. A Recluse bite is a frightening prospect, but it's not something that makes the back of my neck tingle just looking at pictures of the creature itself. Even googling this thing was a psychological challenge. It only ranks behind those giant Golden Orb Spiders and Camel Spiders, but we've been over both.

Black Widows are probably the creapiest things I've seen in real life. They like dark damp places, like where the pool pump and filter is stored as the school in Louisiana I worked in during the summers.
Reaching to pull off the filter lid and seeing one scurry across when your cleaning in the morning will wake you right the hell up!
Snakes will make me jump, too. We have a dock on the Houston Ship Channel where I work. We'll occassionally see some coiled up near the belt motor. They look creepy as hell swimming across the surface of a pond or lake, too.

Great movie, by the way. It's called Starship Troopers. The sequels don't exist in my world, because they suck so much. Read the book by Robert A. Heinlein first, though.

If that is what tyou mean then I must agree that was a beast of a movie. UI actually saw it last night, followed by 2. 2 sucked.

Some crappy kovie about a bug siege, followed by a lot of people dieing to careless and easily avoided mistakes. it sucked. NEXT.
Back on topic, I think the scariest bug I have ever seen, from last night, would be waking up to find a spider, a FOOT wide, sitting on your chest.
I will be scared for life. It may be less intimidating if it was a tarantula, but this was a common house spider. A foot wide. We're getting an Exterminator in next week.

Brain bug from SST. That face has always perplexed me about what Verhoen was thinking (or feeling) when he designed it.
@ Billinator: Agreed about SST 2. Watch the third one, if you haven't already. It's better than the second one, and they use marauder suits that are basically just Thors/ Vikings from Starcraft.

I dont really consider insects or any other arthropod 'scary', I've got 4 tarantulas (and counting) and 2 emperor scorpions, whom the female is soon going to give birth :3
But I think cockroaches freak me out the most, just turning on a light and finding one frantically running along the edge of the bathroom wall or one that bloody flying, making that fluttering noise sends me running...for the aerosol and matches

Vietnamese Centipede. You do Not want this one to bite you. Saw one of these in a pet store I frequented and it was rather cool to watch it eat. Owner tossed a cricket in, centipede didn't move or go after it until the cricket brushed up against the rear of the centipede. In very quick movements, the butt of the `pede flipped over and grabbed the cricket, and it then proceeded to pass the cricket from one pair of legs to the next up the length of it's body to the head end.
