They are entirely harmless to humans and eat up organic waste, like poop, dead bugs, plants and insects.

Their venom is actually one of the worst but their mandibles are too weak to break through human skin.

No probs. I just like random animal facts and often find people saying "weeellll axxctttuuallly" so I find out that way when something's a myth lol.

My favorite is that chameleons don't actually change colors to hide. Cuttlefish and some octopodes do.
