Sure you don’t

HA! HA! Look at der girlie man on der chair!

It could be worse. It could be a Giant Asian Hornet.

I’m not normally creeped out by bugs; I usually catch spiders and release them. However, centipedes DO creep me out!

Ewwww a centipede! Once I found one of them in my bed as I was fixing to go to bed, and tried to catch it. It went under the bed. I decided to sleep on the sofa that night.

This is so timely! I was driving to work this morning, going 70 on the highway, and dropped the visor to combat the sun glare. A cricket fell off the visor into my lap. I have to admit – I PANICKED! Still not sure how I managed to make it to work in one piece.

Hope she’s not mixing up a centipede with a millipede. We have the millipedes where I work at and at first I thought they were centipedes until I looked it up. The most you have to worry about from a millipede is if you try to pick it up, it’ll slime you with this yellow stuff that will just irritate your skin if you don’t wash it off right away. I always use a piece of paper and let them crawl onto it, then take them outside.

Knock Knock. Who’s There? Centipede. Centipede Who? Centi pede on the Christmas Tree!

I like centipedes. They’re so funny when they walk/wiggle.

Those things move fast.

I never heard of being afraid of centipedes/millipedes. After looking centipedes up on Google, however, I guess I’d better add them to my list of things not to cuddle up with.http://www.orkin.com/other/centipedes/

This must be ‘critter week’ in the comics. In the version of ‘One Big Happy ’ that runs on the WashPost website, a squirrel got into the house of Ruthie’s grandparents. Grandmother is standing there with a broom, while Ruthie’s Dad says ‘hold on, Ma.’ Just after Ruthie reasurres her Grandmother that her Dad will know what to do, Dad comes back — with a camera — and hollers ‘action!’

Twice this summer we found our cats cautiously playing with 4-5" long centipedes. They are about the only bug that truly creeps me out, especially when they are in the house.

Yikes!

House centipedes. Can’t stand ’em, even though they eat other bugs.
