Centipede

Common desert centipede (Scolopendra polymorpha). He only has 38 countable legs but is still called a centipede. I think that he will have a tough time digesting the dust bunny. This specimen is about three inches long as he posed for the iPhone.

Centipedes are arthropods that have elongated bodies with one pair of legs per segment. They are distant relatives of lobsters, crayfish, and shrimp. They prefer moist areas, such as under stones, logs, or leaves.

Ocassionally, but rarely in wet weather they can be found inside. This one was trying our Laundry Room but didn't survive the shoe.
