Bug ID?

I found this guy on our living room ceiling today. I can't remember ever seeing one before. It's about 1 1/2" long.

Never mind. I found it. It is (was) a scutigera common name "house centipede". Apparently not too common in our neck of the woods.

AKA Thousand legger. Common where I live. I think with warming temps moving northward, we're all starting to see bugs that were once more common to the south of us.

Not just bugs. Birds, fish and mammals also.
