I wish I could have more information to share… I am so hoping you can help me! My CAT (thank goodness) caught my attention chasing this large bug on my finished basement carpet. I live in Syracuse NY and have NEVER seen such an insect! I thought it was a centipede, but it doesn’t have that many legs. I am very eager to hear back. THANK YOU so much for reading this.

House Centipede becomes Cat Food

Hi Tina,
It seems as though your cat has chewed off a few of this harmless, predatory House Centipede’s legs. Though Centipede means 100 legs, the House Centipede only has 30. These shy nocturnal hunters are often found in basements and damp areas of the home.

WHEW! harmless sounds good to me! I guess I don’t have to move after all!
I have to say, I was intrigued with your site for HOURS last night! Your nasty reader award is by by far the best thing I have ever stumbled across! You need to make more web pages aware of such an award! Actually, if you find a way to market that concept, you can make MILLIONS! Some reason, this day and age, the lonely, psychotic people in the world have gained power and have a louder voice over the normal people in the world! Bravo to you to have such an award! If more people took that approach, maybe respect and morals might come back into being “the in thing”
This site has SO much information! Not only did you stop my skin from crawling and calm my nerves from putting my house up for sale due to the creepy bug that my cat discovered….. (actually, to be honest, my cat did indeed find it…. however, the legs missing might have been from me making sure it wasn’t’ going to crawl up my arm once I picked it up…. ….)
Thank you for taking time to have such a fantastic site! I wish you much success in all your endeavors!!!!
Bugs rock, but I like looking at them from afar….
Tina
