What type of bug is this

I deal with Black widows, Scorpions, centipede, brown recluse spider, Hawk Wasp on the daily..... I love Every Single Living thing and try my hardest not to kill anything. It doesn’t always happen, but I still Try. That being said, to each their own. Also, getting bit by a centipede is no fun. I rather get bit by a black widow x100 than a centipede.

Centipedes are terrifying, I respect them for their intelligence, but they might be one of the scariest creatures I've seen lol. I've heard the bite is awful. My brother in SoCal got bit by one randomly in his house. The worst we have here is wasp nests that get you when you cut the lawn. We have centipedes, but they're never inside and they are small.

Yes centipedes are terrifying but I still won't kill them though, unless it's by accident. Many people often told spider keepers something along the line of, "burn it if I see your spider". In the arachnoboard we have this saying, I would kill your dog/cat if I happened to see it and how would you like that?
 
@Zevil I feel like sometimes you're one of the only people that speak any sense in these threads. You'd think people that proclaim to love chameleons and everything that goes with them would be more open minded.

I can see killing a pest, or not wanting something inside, but then just put it outside?

I'm not trying to argue, it's one time and not a huge deal. This kind of thinking among people just gets frustrating at times. We're supposed to be a community of reptile enthusiasts(which come with plants, bugs, etc), yet a lot of the time I just see 'EW KILL IT'. The people speaking sense and trying to teach are often being drowned out on this site. I get it, chameleons are cute and bring in a whole different type of keeper, but please be respectful to the people trying to educate here. Saying, "but I didn't" in response to a rational comment is pretty childish and passive aggressive. I'm sure I'll get the same, but i could care less.
Nah I’m all for killing invaders. Only things I invite in get to live. About to start throwing things at the rats I see. It’s go time

I also like to live the dead bodies by empty points so they can see how I deal with unwelcome visitors

My thinking is that by allowing a beneficial insect/arachnid around, I'll have less pests whether it be plant pests, mosquitoes, etc. Maybe that's crazy thought though. Also, you guys aren't from the northeast/southeast. Summers bring soooooo many critters. I know you guys have your beasts over there, but it's overwhelming to the point many here welcome the creatures that kill some of them off. For example, how many insects does 1 spider eat? That's how many less in your house/on your porch?

Also, go ahead and kill invaders, that wasn't my point. I explained my point pretty clearly.

Since your so bio benefits I will get a snake to take care of my problem. There two birds one stone
