I always enjoy the beauty of different types of insects and sometimes enjoy the beauty of different types of animals. However, there are some animals or insects that seem a little scary when you see them. Today I am sharing an animal that is very scary at first when you see it with your own eyes. The name of this scary animal is Lithobius forficatus animal. When I saw it, I felt a little scared and I observed this animal from a distance. It is actually a very familiar animal to me and sometimes I see this animal in my room. I enjoyed the terrible beauty of this animal and took some pictures with my own mobile and the pictures are presented above for all friends to observe.
I saw this creature in my room two days ago and it was 10 pm at that time. When I went to wash my face in the water, I saw this creature and it was moving or moving around repeatedly so that it could get out of the specific place and go to its safe place. But this creature was in a place from which it could not come up and I tried to take some pictures in this situation and then I used my mobile flashlight to take pictures. I observed this creature and saw that it is a long animal and it has more hands or legs on both sides with the help of which it can move from one place to different places at high speed. I saw a mixture of black color in its body and sometimes a mixture of brown color is also seen in their body.Thanks all friends.

That which you have there shouldn't be admired by man. It has a very potent toxin that can even kill an adult if it find is way into the system. If it should climb on your skin, the skin gets a burn like look, almost like a rot. That insect is very deadly. I recommend you dispose it properly and clean all surfaces where it has cut across.
I sincerely thank you for speaking correctly about this insect, presenting accurate information and giving me sound advice. I think I will get more good advice from you at different times. I wish you success in the future.
No problem, it's a common insect here in my country that's why I know so much about it. Best wishes to you too
Wow, those are some incredibly detailed photos! It's a little unsettling to find something like that in your room, but you captured its unique appearance.
This horrible creature sometimes comes up from the dirt under my toilet and I sometimes see it. But so far no harm has been done. Thank you for telling me about it. Have a nice day ahead.
