Re: Black scorpion type of thing
All that lime disease, mozzies, etc. I did spend two long summers at camps in CT and another in PA so I know! 
This is why I stay indoors... or did until this rotten lot started on about all the bugs that lived there with me.

In flagrant breach of Nutek's Legs Rule, I found one of these in my living room yesterday. 
And d@mn can they shift, ..... they're the fastest pest I have ever seen, faster than a mouse on amphetamines!

Re: Black scorpion type of thing
That was me the first, second, third, fourth etc times I saw one. I read that once they are in your home they are very difficult to eradicate.

To catch it I had to throw the newspaper at it, a nice substantial copy of the NY Times! 
.... The paper landed on target and the centipede exploded on impact.

Re: Black scorpion type of thing
The first time I saw one was in the apartment we rented in Westchester county, NY. It came under the door and it crossed the floor in a couple of seconds! I yelled "WTF was that!?!?!" To catch it I had to throw the newspaper at it, a nice substantial copy of the NY Times! .... The paper landed on target and the centipede exploded on impact.

Edit: I came back one night...hubby was away...and found what I thought was a lizard in the corner of the lounge. Again out came the trusty ant and roach spray...after a hit and miss spray...it crawled under the baseboard heating panel. The bug man said it would probably have been a salamander...in southern drawl he said 'If you've got one...you'll have more.' Very reassuring.
All of the above was when we were living in a ground floor rented duplex. The apartments were new construction...therefore I put it down to bugs and creatures moving in while they were being built.

Re: Black scorpion type of thing
Oh, a lot bigger than an earwig, the ones I have seen are 2-2.5" long! :eek
They can climb walls? ..... Now I feel like Nutek, even in my house I am not safe from scary creatures!
