    Eeeekk! I would have a heart attack! I have seen these in our garden, they are, for the lack of a better term… UGLY. ๐Ÿ™‚

      I had no idea what this thing was….we found it in 2010 and I posted it to my Facebook…it seems that most of my friends didn’t know what it was, either…I am guessing it’s a centipede?

    Yuck. I would probably just leave it for the husband to take care of.

    I found one of those in my slipper once. I felt something trying to tickle my toes. When I took off my slipper, the darn thing plopped out. I think they could have heard me scream for ten miles!

      Oh my gosh! I am freaking out just thinking about that! I would have thrown that slipper out the window and ran a mile away to make sure I was away from it, lol!

    I am not sure what that thing is, but I do know if I found one I would call the exterminator and have my house and property sprayed. While I do not like chemicals, I also do not like creepy nasty looking things crawling around either ahahaha! Nevertheless, I would rather find it in my basement than my slipper like Dawn. That would put me in a loony bin and drunken stupor for sure!
