Whenever we visited my mother-in-law in Phoenix, AZ, she'd always warn us to shake out our footgear & bedsheets in case one of these little bastards had decided to take up residence:

They don't crawl in my shoes Dia, my cats antagonise them and then put them there to torture me.
They squirt this black liquid that is impossible to get out and smells like a month old cadaver. They have razor sharp 'somethings' that slice through flesh like butter. And you CAN NOT kill these things. They are famous for finding their way back from being flushed down toilets and slicing you on your ass. Spray doesn't kill them and they are so tough that it takes a few full-weight-stomps in combat boots to break through their armour. :eww:

omg! Sounds like The Cricket From Hell to me! And I thought centipedes were bad; they don't squirt anything and are far easier to kill - at least the Midwestern kind are. Seems like you need a PP Swat Team to get rid of them. I did read that they voraciously consume garden snails, though. If you're looking for a bright side, that is.

I had 2 huntsmans fall on my head from doors in one day! Admittedly one was already dead, but you know. The first one was this big mutha, he landed on my head and I could see the legs dangling over my eyebrows. Squashed him real good. Fuck those cunning bastards
