Rocky,
That's nuts! If that thing didn't give you the willies, there's something wrong with you (i.e. you're a zombie). I've never ever seen anything remotely like that from around here but if I did, I'd freak out. The closest thing we've got is domestic centipedes. Don't like 'em much either, but they rarely exceed an inch or two.

I suppose that once they reach a foot long you'd better worry that they might 'take a leg'. []

Now I got to tell you a story.
The south eastern side of the Island is pretty dry. We used to do a lot of night fishing when the moon and winds are just right. One night the fish were biting good
but the ocean was ruff. Around 2100 it starts to rain. So what happens is the centipedes come out. Next think you know I'm running around with hundreds of them crawling everywhere. I had to hide between the pounding surf and the centipedes. What a nightmare that was![&:]

Wow, I'm sure glad we don't have those guys around here... []
There's these big, weird looking cave crickets in my dump. I know they're harmless, but when one is sitting silently, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, it makes me a bit jumpy... They jump straight to the face if you get too close... [:-]
