I've had smaller versions of that centipede in my basement. Stepping and grinding on them only annoys them. 美しい犬 | |||

You had the centipede when you poured acetone on it. All you needed was a match. ![]() _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

We had a millipede in our house the other day and not sure how it got there. | |||

Shame about your house. I assume you burned it to the ground and/or nuked it from orbit.

I have a cricket problem in my house which the 6 month old short haired female kitten takes care of. She happily stomps the shit out of them. She always gets a nice treat afterwards. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

The most venomous scorpion in North America. They are the most common scorpion we see in these parts. They are also considered the only scorpion in AZ to be life threatening. If you really want to see how common they are, do as Rick Lee says and take a black light outside at night. When in doubt, mumble | |||

My one and only experience with one of those happened on our porch while renting in Radium Springs, NM. I grabbed a shovel and proceeded to cut it in half. The two halves took off in different directions and it was in that moment that I knew I fucked up. I left in yet another direction and never saw another or those two again. We also had sun spiders there and those were creepy. They had good vision and moved at speeds seemingly impossible when attempting to squash them. After a few sightings we got onto a routine commercial extermination plan. | |||

I have never seen one of those nasty things in PA and I am ok with that. You must live somewhere warmer than me. On an unrelated note, while others will move south when they get old, when I get to that point, I am moving north. I like my insects few and innocuous. | |||

We had a cat that would dismember them. We simply picked up the pieces. ![]() _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Is that a centipede from the Jurassic period?! ![]() _______________ Mind. Over. Matter. | |||

^ ^ ^ No. the Jurassic was from about 200-145 million years ago. The critters were able to get so large during the Carboniferous because the oxygen in the air got up to about 35%. There were dragonflies with wingspans of over two feet. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

WHOA. Glad you got it before it got you. | |||

I believe they are misnamed, since milli and centi are fractional prefixes. They should be hectopedes and kilopedes. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Don't think the Bug-A-Salt is going to handle that one. May have to pick up a double in .410.... | |||

A seven inch centipede is more than I would care to see. My wife would melt down. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
