Reply #27: We've had to send a couple of centipedes to centipede heaven this fall

[Thirtieschild]

One today was sneaky - he'd twisted himself in the shape of leaf. We might have fallen for it except we could see all those legs. The centipedes here aren't nearly as big as the ones I remember in Texas and OKlahoma, but whatever the size you want to keep their distance. I'm doing my best to, if not offer friendship, at least tolerate spiders. I've always been so terrified of them I can't even touch a picture of one. Ever since i came out worst when I met a brown recluse in my bed, I havne't been so intent to kill everyone I see. I'm now watching several growing incredibly fat. They aren't as nearly as large as the golden orb spiders in Georgia but they're good size.

I like ants, try to talk to them and point out that they have their place and I have mine and we really can't co-exist. Palmetto bugs I know - and despise - but what on earth are earwigs? Hear you talking about them and have no idea what they are.
