This hapless chap was stuck in the sink in our office. Someone dispatched it after I took these pictures.

Wow! First time i saw a centipede that has long legs. Nice shots!Thanks. I don't remember seeing one before either. It took me a while to decide which end was the head. I don' t know what the function of that 15th set of legs is - as antennae, for balance, or just to make it a pushme-pullyou kinda creature.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but...

I found this little bug on my wall and had never seen it before. After a little searching I found what it was and well now I'm here showing you my bug.

Just like the one above only in NY instead of CA.
