Gross huh?
I was over at Zoe's place and she was talking about battling the huge mutant spiders in the loo. It was my opinion that the centipedes here are wayyyyyy grosser than a spider. So here is a picture taken from some site on the interwebby thingy of a centipede in all it's disgusting glory.
I had never seen one of these monsters until I moved to Hamilton and OMG I hate them. I know they are supposed to be beneficial eating spiders, flys etc etc but they are just so nasty I kill them wherever possible. This , btw, is a picture of a dead one, you have to imagine all those legs spread out making it look three times bigger. *shudder*

Have to be honest I used to be such a wuss when it came to inspects, but since I moved over here I have kinda toughened up. Not thorough choice I might add. Imagine what it was like seeing a spider as big as your hand on your shoulder - scary........
Elspeth - and THAT is why I've never been to Australia LOL You grow some bigass bugs down here and at least half of them are poisonous!
EWWW!!!!!
Centipedes are ugly.
I have real problems with any creature that has more than 4 legs.
6 legs, I can kind of deal with - you know, beetles, flying insects and the like. I don't like them, but I have kind of a "live and let live" attitude about them.
8 legs, as long as they are small legs, will not send me too far over the edge. (Big ones are another story.
anything with more then 8 legs is just plain icky, gross, yucky, creepy, and any other "y" words you can think of. I am horrified by centipedes. That picture gave me a serious case of the heebie Jeebies, ind it's just a picture, of a DEAD critter.
the carpet spiders here are HUGE. your centipede is NOTHING compared with those things that have to use the front door to enter my house.
i don't like the antennae though - i'd cut those off.
akkkkkkkkk! Horrid memories of one of those running across my daughter's face while she was sleeping.....
Now in HAwaii, the Centipedes are poisonous, about 8 Inches long and about 1" wide. GROSS,
I dunno, call me funky or what you will, but I think there is nothing grosser than turning the knob on your BBQ and having a nest of earwigs come out and attack you. I still believe they'll eat my brains if I let 'em near my ears. Anyone who says its a wives tale I will never listen to.
Oh dear Jesus, but that's completely repulsive. Thank you sooo much for making my skin crawl.
totally gross. the castle i lived in had preternatural ones, but that was in Pennsylvania.
oh, and i am giving you a link! hope that's ok.
