A long read blends entomology with home life, detailing centipedes and a demon fly killer, their feeding habits, and how farmers face losses from cats and birds. It cites Dr Slingerland's demon fly killer from Europe, notes about centipedes spreading in the eastern U.S., and argues birds and pests shape farm economics and control methods.
A 1910 era feature notes centipedes as allies in pest control. Entomologists describe the many legged creature eating cockroaches bed bugs and flies, warning against sensational fear. The piece cites historical tales Miss Muffet and contrasts spiders with centipedes noting their beneficial insect-eating habits and harmless bite.
