As that idiot says, a centipede. To find the species name though, we may need your location so we can pin-point species. — J. Musser, Jan 15, 2015 at 17:25
These bugs are so common, the best thing to do is freak out and feel the numbness in your face when you see all those legs so close together — Huangism, Jan 15, 2015 at 18:05

Looks to be some kind of centipede, but I couldn't venture a guess at the species.

Most likely Lithobius forficatus, the garden centipede, but hard to be certain without a close up, and it'd need to be dead to keep it still!
