Well, I think there's a big mistake regarding orchids here…

You think millipedes are cute, cool arthopods?
And that centipedes are horrible nasty buggers?

You are right, but terribly wrong. And I mean wrong!

Almost all millipedes are vegans. If they like to be amongst your orchids, it means something there is edible… see what I mean?

Centipedes are carnivorous. They eat insects and arthropods around, just like spiders they are allies. I know they can bite, but most of the time, you won't have to bother, save if you're crushing them but mistake. Watch where you put your big fingers, and if you stumble on one, it'll go, fast, as they are fleeing light, and will.

Note that I don't think to have those inside is a good thing, but if you do, it means that it's wet in there and that they find something to eat (and no, it's not you, as you're identified as "nasty big crusher to flee triple fast").
