      its called “Stridulation” and its something a lot of centipedes can do.

      scared the crap out of me the first time I heard it when I was trying to put one in a cup and take it outside. lol

          you know? that’s fair. but it also made me extremely nervous when I hadn’t been moments before.

          went from skittering around panicking to “I will mess you up >=( I’m dangerous! HISSSSS! LOOK HOW SCARY!”
