Reminds me of my own issues with some things that others just get easily. For a while there were commercials for Lowe's home improvement stores that showed people adding a letter T to the end of the word. For the life of me, I could not figure out what "Lowe's T" was supposed to be about. Like...for WEEKS I saw this and didn't get it. Finally, DH explained to me, after laughing at me, that they were spelling out "Lowest" as in the lowest prices. He STILL makes fun of me for this! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH asks me, were you driving by the movie theater? Yes, but I had to take some other street to get home.

Katy Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 This is the kind I mean.

ETA: yes, mulch got delivered. 2 days later the basement staircase (that had a side door into the garden where the mulch was delivered) had at least a dozen brown recluses. DH did a few rounds of orkin, but in the mean time the centipedes showed up. Which were creepier than the spiders in my probably illogical opinion. After a few months (and a hard frost), spider sitings became rare. Never got rid of the centipedes.

Tree Frog Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 House centipedes and centipedes are very different. Here, we have the red headed centipedes. Venomous, but not deadly. I'd much rather have a house centipede than one of these! https://texashillcountry.com/3-facts-texas-centipedes/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 These are what my brain reverts to- Giant Sonoran. When my Grandma was getting elderly and we went to help her clean out her house since the ranch was too much for her she had forgotten to spray around the house. When I was vacuuming, I realized there were scorpions all over. Many were dead and stuck in the carpet. We started wearing shoes in the house at that point.

That above is the kind of centipede I think of when I hear the word, but I don't think they're common up here. Giant bugs - yet another reason to never move south! The house centipede is extra creepy - I always thought centipedes would be kind of plodding, not super-fast! But I've literally never seen that long-legged variety before. Millipedes I find kind of cute. Aren't they pretty much totally harmless?? Edited September 23, 2021 by Matryoshka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 In Taiwan we had centipedes in the back yard - and cobras. The centipedes had enough venom to be dangerous to a small child, I was told. An adult neighbour was stung by one that was hiding under his pillow. His arm swelled to three times its normal size and he had breathing difficulties. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scolopendra_subspinipes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
