Oo...lookee that thing go!

This thing was fast. Luckily it stopped running from me when it realized I wasn't trying to kill it.

I know. I once ran into a 'colony'...they are like the tide...

I Think what gets me out the most about these things is that they skitter. :P

Neat, you managed to get real close to that!

Thanks! Once it stopped flipping out, I could get close.

Proud to be a all american six legged shit eater

And how!

I'm sad to say it, but I've been in more than one restaurant where these guys have made sudden appearances. The worst was in a little cafe in Death Valley... this huge bugger crawled up onto our tabletop and mingled with our plates. We tried to catch it under a coffee cup, but it skittered under the edge of it, pushed it up, and jumped off the table onto the floor. It was pretty gross, but you do have to admire a bug that can all but toss aside a heavy porcelain coffee mug.

You have to be careful what you drop on these guys. You might end up giving them a weapon.

I find it interesting how his leg looks like the stem of a thorny rosebush.

But he looks dusty, he needs a bath.

They aren't exactly known for their cleanliness. :P

Yay! :D

Next time do you want to take a picture of a worm infested cat stool? seriously if you ever find one

Hooray for FA's search function xB Awesome shot! I'd love to start a colony of these, but apparently they aren't as sought-after as "cleaner" and "prettier" species. ;P Maybe I should try looking around Pittsburgh come Anthrocon, it's a pretty freaking nasty city. XD

Well, hello... What brings you from NYC, Ralph?

...Sorry, used to watch "Joe's Apartment" a lot several years back, not the best movie ever, but it did have a few catchy songs...

"Funky towel, towel's got the funk..."... Crap, now it's in my head again...
