I've seen plenty of centipedes, but it's a totally different story when they invade my own home. I lose all professionalism and go completely girly, lol! Sadly, the one you've seen a picture of is not the largest. The first one I ever found in my home came to visit on April Fools Day of 2007. <a href="http://skeetsstuff.skeeterbess.com/2007/04/01/lucky-we-live-hawaii-april-fools-edition/" target=_blank" rel="nofollow">I found it in my kitchen sink that morning.</a> Even <i>that one</i> isn't the largest I've found. There was a dead one in my shed a few days ago that was close to six inches! Jack, I’ve been doing pest control for thirty years, and in Hawaii for fourteen years.

I've nearly jumped out of my skin several times lately becuase I felt some little thing and was afraid it was another centipede!

Sorry it took me forever to get back to you - getting ready to move is sucking up all of my time!

I was pushed way beyond my professional limits by that one, lol! sorry I was so slow to answer. I'm in the process of getting the house ready for my move, so the blog is on the back burner. I did, however, post about where I'm going. :) Donna, I’ve been dealing with bugs for thirty years and it takes a lot to put me into a tailspin, but that centipede on my foot did it.

I've been working on the house and packing & such every day. I have the option of buying a "standard issue" Starbucks card at our local outlets, but I always buy the local ones when I'm mailing one out becuase I know that folks from other places get a kick out of the art. I'm glad you're enjoying yours! Sorry to be so slow responding to your comment, Megan. I’ve been working on the house and packing & such every day.
