I have it. My mom used to crush ants she saw in the kitchen before she realized that the stink I was complaining about was the stench of compressed ant corpses. Don't get me started on these stinky fucks:

I'm so intrigued! What do centipedes smell like?

[–] geomela@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

I think that's a millipede. Centipedes = 1 pair of legs per body segment, millipedes = multiple pairs per body segment.

In the picture it looks like more than one pair of legs per body segment.

I think that's how it is, anyway.

Milipedes.

The closest I can equate it to is hair chemicals.like the stuff they use for perms or coloring...but worse.

EDIT: Ants also have a strong chemical smell. Pungent like Krazy Glue but not at all the same.

I can smell millipedes up close but not far away. I also can't smell ants
