RAROTONGA, Cook Islands, July 28 (UPI) -- Residents of the Cook Islands captured footage of an unsettling encounter with a particularly large creepy-crawly -- a giant centipede.

The video, filmed July 15, shows the enormous centipede crawling through the yard on its many legs while two people watch.

"Giant centipedes live all over our property in the mountains of Rarotonga," the filmer wrote.

They said daytime encounters are rare.

"They are nocturnal and typically keep to themselves, but every once in a while we have a run-in with one, as is seen here."
