ok - now WHAT IS THIS????
This was in my loungeroom on the wall - it's body was hardish and I thought it was all fluff around it but they are all legs - jointed like a spider and it ran fast like a spider - I have never seen anything like it!! It was about 4inches or a little more long -(which is about 10cm) that was the body not those HUGE legs!! AND NO I didn't catch it to show anyone I was on a ladder taking this pic and like I said it ran fast and I wanted to know EXACTLY where it was so the Vacuum caught it! - the head is actually at the top of the pic - it has what looks like false eyes at the back of it!
Scutigera coleoptrata apparently... did a google search for 24 legged insect. Don't like the look of them, but harmless, so they say...
ReplyDeleteYes, like Vicki said - commonly known as the house centipede.
