The locals had told me about the cancle...they call it the mother of scopians and say that it is highly dangerous. I had a rather large one in my bathroom and fearing for my dog who goes after everything, I sprayed it. I put it in a zip lock and brought it to my vet who is also a zoologist. He told me what it was and brought out a book with numerous photos...also told me that the locals are wrong about it. This was several weeks ago. Today lunching with some Mexicans we were talking about bugs and they mentioned the dangerous cancle. I didn't remember the name of the bug I had before so this time I wrote the name down and looked it up at your website. Sure enough it was the same bug. I live in an environment where bugs are common place, but am not happy when they are scorpions, alacrans or 8 inch long centipedes; they have their life ended. The beautiful brown and rust tarantula on my terrace this morning was scooted off before my dog saw it and ended his life. I've had pet praying mantis living in a vase of flowers for weeks. I feed it bugs with a tweezer and mist them periodically. I live on the coast in Mexico…actually the area is jungle.
