....behind a two four.... WTF is it?

Looks like one of these ........... might be an idea to keep it as a pet, apparently it eats the spiders!!
House Centipedes
Centipedes are common arthropods with long, flattened, segmented bodies with one pair of legs per segment. The house centipede is up to 1 1/2 inches long and has 15 pairs of very long, slender legs. Each leg is encircled by dark and white bands. The body is brown to grayish-yellow and has three dark stripes on top.
Though house centipedes are found both indoors and outdoors it is the occasional one on the bathroom or bedroom wall, or the one accidentally trapped in the bathtub, sink, or lavatory that causes the most concern. However, these locations are not where they normally originate. Centipedes prefer to live in damp portions of basements, closets, bathrooms, unexcavated areas under the house and beneath the bark of firewood stored indoors. They do not come up through the drain pipes.

House centipedes feed on small insects, insect larvae, and on spiders. Thus they are beneficial, though most homeowners take a different point-of-view and consider them a nuisance. Technically, the house centipede could bite, but it is considered harmless to people.

House centipede control consists of drying up and cleaning, as much as possible, the areas that serve as habitat and food source for centipedes. Residual insecticides can be applied to usual hiding places such as crawl spaces, dark corners in basements, baseboard cracks and crevices, openings in concrete slabs, and so forth. Centipedes discovered outdoors should not be controlled

He won't be eating any insects anymore or drinking my two four that's for sure.....

It looks like an English coin. I wonder how the hell that got there?

Thank JC
I thought for a moment it was one of the mother in laws relatives, and they say dragons dont exist!

It's waiting patiently in the basement to be repatriated...

We had lots of those in our basement in Toronto, my OH used to scream like a little girl when he saw them

I was more worried about it stealing beer...

yeah you don't wanted to be around one of those things when is liquored up

LOL that was my reaction .... is it a 50 pence piece? There's something you don't see every day! .......

Those things can run pretty fast. Usually the cats see them in the basement first, you see them staring at the ceiling or a wall and turn on the light and the thing shoots across the wall. The annoying thing is they are quite big for squashing with things, usually a whack with the slipper will take care of it. They don't venture out into the finished part of the basement very often and rarely see them above basement level.

What clever cats you have.
