DrDNA Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 That is one big, nasty looking bug. That back leg is over seven inches long. I measured it on my monitor. Were you afraid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I found this in my girlfriends dorm the other day... Does anyone know what it is? They seem to like college dorms : A large colony of house centipedes resides in the East Quad of Brandeis University, resulting in the arthropods being dubbed "East Bugs" on the campus. Likewise, a colony lives in Old Dorm Block (ODB) of Reed College, where they are known as "ODB Bugs." One of the world's largest concentrations of house centipedes reside in the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC)'s Fort Haldimand, where they are known as 'haldibugs'.
