Oh, it's dead. Plant based insecticide did the trick but WTF is it?
My sister is deathly afraid of insects so I texted her a pic for obvious reasons.

I'm not sure what that is, but I'm pretty sure moving would not be considered an overreaction.
Did some research. I'm pretty sure its one of these...> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutigera_coleoptrata

Well, that link says it's part of a group of bugs called a "house centipede". I've seen tons of house centipedes and they are bigger, much harrier and even creepier than whatever is in that picture. My wife seems to find them in the shower in the morning. That's a hell of a way to start your day, climbing nekkid into a shower and finding out you are sharing it with a big, ugly, hairy ass centipede.

Yeah, we got house centipedes, all right. As I stated earlier. I don't recall seeing any that looked quite like that one, but it wouldn't surprise me any. We get some scary looking stuff comes in the house looking for warmth in the fall, as well as with the rain in the spring and summer for that matter.
