Imagine living in a paradise like environment only have it be ruined by the siting of a monster in your home. This monster I speak of is a centipede. This thing was almost 9 inches long and almost impossible to kill. It has a deadly sting and is posionous. I am traumatized and probably need therapy. If you are ever on the web, look up a picture of a centipede common in Hawaii. I was going to attach one to this blog entry but just the thought of the thing has me freaking out. There are two things I fear after this siting: 1) one will bite my 2 year old 2) One or more of them will make it upstairs and get into either of our beds and bite us in our sleep. I might invest in a hammock and grease down the post so it can't get a grip to crawl up. Sleep is minimal in my house these days. Any suggestions to get rid of them....do tell! If you ever come to Hawaii, beware of the centipede!
