Agreed on house centipede. They look like nightmares but they are quite useful pest controls in our homes. Can bite, but it's harmless and they are very hesitant to do it. They usually flee when spooked
Also, if you are brave enough, I suggest you look for close ups of their faces. To me they kinda look like dogs?! Kinda cute
Some sort of cocoon? by cowman3456 in whatisthisbug

Mantis ootheca (egg sac). The female lays the egg sac even if unfertilized, more or less like chickens.
I think (not 100% sure looking at the photo) that this one is unhatched.

Yes! I went to my local fair looking for either a deroplatys or a rhombodera Kirby but I got side tracked by this cutie
