so far I have not seen any more of the centipedes since the vacuuming and by posting this of course that means one will scamper buy within the next 5 minutes |

| kellychaos | Yeah, but you ever try to kill one of those things? One hundred stompings all in vain. The thing was STILL moving. | |

I'm terrified of lampreys and spiders, but I respect spiders and can appreciate that they are beautiful yadda yadda, just as long as they stay the fuck away from me! Lampreys are one reason I will never ever swim in a lake!  I won't kill them, but I will run and make Declan put them outside |

Waxing anthropomorphically, I can't help but wander what the surviving centipedes are thinking upon seeing their fellow pedes being sucked up in "the big wind" ... whether they see it as a sign from the "Great Centipede God" ... whether there's a Nostradamus-type centipede in the cracks of the house claiming that he foretold the coming of the trajedy ... "It's all there on the 'centipede scrolls"! If you centipedes knew how to interpret my work properly, you would see that!" |

Wow Kitty, thats awful. Even I can handle gypsy caterpillars. I kill them anyway though, because they are a non native species that got accidentally introduced when some asshole brought them thinking he could cross them with silkworms and get rich. Tapeworm. Always cook your meat well.   Giant African millipede. |

I caught a stick insect as a kid and I kept it as a pet. They are cool because they move slowly and they aren't really threatening, with their small head and all. They're probably some of the coolest insects on earth. BTW I didn't keep it too long, as one morning, I woke up and its box ( I kept it on some toy figures box) was empty... never knew if it escaped into my room or if my parents set him free. Now, what I REALLY hate are house milipedes. They comes from mexico and now spread as far north as Canada ( I know, I have some in my house)... Ewww... and now it's the summer and they'll come out again. I already killed 3 this season, and one escaped into some boxes... Actually that was tonight... it's still there I bet... waiting to make it's move.... |

I had a terrarium full of little walking sticks as a kid. At one point they grew to 7 or 8 inches long, which was pretty cool, but the terrarium just wasn't big enough for them to live in. So I set them free. Most spiders cause me to move to the other end of the room, and if they move I'm on the furniture. Yes, the woman of my dreams must be able to crush spiders with a single blow. I've never seen a centipede or millipede any bigger than an inch or two, but if I did I'd probably utter a Ned Flanders shriek and faint. |

Really any type of insect freaks me out but especially walking sticks(thanks Jeanette X :/ ) I think my insane fear started when I was aroung 5 or so. I went to one of my mom's friend's house and that year there was an over population of gypsie moths. So when we got to this lady's house, gypsie moth caterpillars were raining from the trees and covering the driveway. We needed an umbrella to walk to the house because there were so many and our shoes were covered in caterpillar guts. They were even in the house....When we finally got home I found some in the car and on my back. It was a very tramatizing experience. |

Eeek. Re, you poor thing. My sympathies. Leech sucking on a human.  Scorpion.  Stick insect. Ready to drop onto Kitty's head.    Pet stick insects. What is wrong with these people?  Horseshoe crab on its back. One time, some marine expert came to my elementry school with one. He turned it over it had all thes little legs kicking in the air. It was fucking creepy. |

Spiders are fucking cool. What you should be watching out for are Box jellyfishes. They're the most venomous creature in the seas according to the Discovery channel, which is complete bullshit, since the most poisenous creature in the seas, and even WORLD is the stonefish. anyways, back to the jellyfish, they're about 30 foot long and you dies within a couple of minutes because of paralisis, while enduring the worst pain in the entire world. |

right now our apartment has become infested with those damn centipedes (but the house ones with the really long legs). I am going to vacuum a bunch today in a pathetic attempt to save myself |

Your thread is giving me nightmares Once when I was at a zoo, there was display of walking stick insects and they were huge, about 8 or 9 inches long. I still get freaked out just thinking about it.

I was once exploring a cave on my late great-grandmother's property. I wriggled myself into a small cavern and turned on a flashlight to find the wall itself practically crawling, as its entire surface area was covered with cave spiders. I knew that if I bore any adverse reaction, my sister would go in hysterics. That's how I got over my fear of spiders. |

 This...thing is called an Argiope Bruennichi. It is found in Europe.  This is a sun spider.  Hobo Spider.  Purse web spider. Almost beetle-like, isn't it? It belongs to a suborder callled Orthognatha, or primitive spiders.  Lady-bird spider. So named because of it's resembalence to a lady-bird (ladybug).  Spitting spider. So named because it spits a poisonous silken substance over its prey.  Lynx spider. Look at those barbs! Please note: These pictures are mostly close-ups. These spiders really no where near as big as these photos would make them seem. Thank God. Spiders terrify me. I know its irrational, but dear God, I can't stand them. My phobia is rather embarrasing, especially because I strive to understand and appreciate nature in its fullest, including the unpleasant parts. I know that most of them are harmless but...  But I suppose this thread might help me to get over my fears. Perhaps someday I might even...pick one up.
