I look at this thing, and i'm shuddering.  I just KNOW if I ever saw one for real, I'd shriek like a little girl.

Those back legs look pretty meaty, almost like cricket legs.  Can these things jump?

The centipedes we have in my area look like this:


I have been bitten by one, not fun.  Not as scary looking as that house centipede, though.

Yeah, those centipedes hurt. But are less freaky looking.

The thing about house centipedes is not so much that they can jump, but that they are /fast/. Very fast.

I thought Daddy Long Legs/Harvestmen weren't spiders?  :?

Not that I'm a fan, regardless. GAAAAAAAAAHHHH PUBIC HAIR SPIDERZ.


Also, centipedes fucking gross me out. I haven't seen too many of them in RI, and they aren't in FL because there are scarier things down there to worry about, but I DO remember them on Long Island.


You wanna know what I hate up here? Gypsy Moths. They aren't indigenous to North America, and they ruin our trees!

Harvestmen aren't spiders, but cellar spiders are also called daddy longlegs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pholcidae

That centipede is pretty freaky looking, and at 1-2" is plenty big enough to be intimidating.
but, as size is significant to me in arthropod freak factor, i gotta say that i'm just glad we don't have the giant ones in this corner of the globe...

I kick spiders out of my room unless they're daddy long legs and on the ceiling not above my bed and just chuck them out the window. We have black widows here and those are really the only ones I kill on sight.

Also, that is the creepiest fucking creature I have ever seen, Nigel.

Is that the kind that hangs out in caves and eats bats?
