So I was breaking some rocks part tonight and something fell out. These rocks have been dry for at least a few months. This was moving still. I threw it in a bowl of saltwater to see if it completely revives. I just thought it was interesting and amazing that it's still alive.

It may not be but I haven't seen anything like that around the house or in the garage so I decided to throw it in water.

Looks like a centipede to me. I see them roaming around a lot. (They smell bad when you kill them :( )
