Yes it was grooming its antennae, seemed to be happy for a moment or two to be out of the dusty siding, but it looked miserable in that jar, so I let it go. It was a monster.
Here's some more pics; my kitten was quite interested. Took these right before I let it go.
Just grabbed that jar and scooped it in. It was kind of sluggish because a sudden cold snap hit today when a storm rolled in. I let it warm up and snapped some pictures but I ended up letting it go, I don't have the right set up for a pede.
Came home today and just as I was opening the door to my apartment this monstrosity crawled out of the siding. I've never seen a centipede this large before, so I obviously had to catch it. Not sure if I should keep it (never kept centipedes), sell it, let it go or what. It's quite impressive.
