Legs Everywhere.

Oct 06, 2006 12:23

The squillipede in The trista's apartment continues its reign of terror. Details at noon.

I saw it yesterday morning, and it was horrible. Legs everywhere. I think some of its legs had legs. Of course, when I first spotted it I did what anyone would do. I squeaked, and then I ran away. I spent a moment or two whimpering and wishing dawnshine were there, ( Read more... )

Personally, I find moths much scarier. Suspiciously quiet beings...

You are such a freak. It's a bug. Squash it. And I am going to point out that as the person who taught my son about inflation, you should know that a quarter will not be sufficient.

But I seriously make DK throw the bugs out. Way out. And if I'm home, they get great distance, too. I sweep them into my dustpan thing (after I've watched them long enough to make sure that they aren't going to wiggle when I tough them with the broom because eeew) and then kind of fling them out of whichever door is closest.

Squillipedes do not fly, you evil, evil person. I checked the squilliped Wikipedia entry to be sure.

Hokay. You are seriously suggesting that I get close enough to a bug to squish it? Um, yeah. Have you met me? Like, ever? I cannot believe you can type that with a straight face.

So, fifty cents and a round trip ticket?

Are you SURE they don't fly? They may have evolved.

No, I'm not absolutley positive. I can box a couple up and send them to you so you can study them, though.
