Will it ever end?

First it was crickets. Then it was ants. Then it was a wind scorpion. Well, folks, now it is one of these:
Can we say heebie jeebie? We got home the other night and I saw this crawling on our tile in our living room. I of course did what any rational person would do, jumped up on the couch and started screaming like a girl. Luckily Chris was home and quickly got a jar and a piece of paper and captured this bad boy. Upon investigation, we found that it is called a giant desert centipede and that while it is venomous, it is not deadly, just extremely painful. Is that reassuring to anyone?
It is currently on my front porch in the jar suffocating to death, but if it isn't dead by tonight, the shovel is coming out!

If you are trying to never ever have visitors...you are succeeding. YUCK!! (this coming from a mother of a six year old that loves bugs, which means I also must explore them)
