    Good :) very beneficial part of your CUC some people say too many can be bad.. but you shouldn't get too many unless your overfeeding and stuff, I hardly see mine, they come out at night mostly out of the LR, they haven't ever hurt anything IME. Some people don't like them at all they make traps to catch them.. not necessary just don't touch them with your hands their bristles will come off in your skin! Not a fun experience.... so I hear..
