How large are their eggs?
Just wondering if they can be easily seen. Looks almost like an sea anemone.

Yeah, they are really cool! They sorta look like mini octopuses to me.

They are about 3-4 mm long, they are pretty noticeable if you dig through the top layer of substrate.

I wonder how house centipedes would do in the mail. they seem pretty delicate. whenever i did catch some their legs just start to freaking fall off. and @MassExodus i find little pedes under my trash can all the time outside. if i can get one ill see about catching it for ya if u want. lol too bad we live so far apart i feel like we could go on a hillbilly bug hunt!!!
