What's the occasion?




Here's one of our "occasional invaders," in this case a centipede.  This guy was about an inch long.  If you do some research you'll see just how big some species can get. Fortunately, those species are not so common in NYC yet.

In this instance it happened to invade a women's bathroom in a restaurant, and that, of course, is unacceptable.

For the most part these guys won't bother you much.  They prefer cool, dark, damp places, and are probably content to stay in the basement or outside under some trash or clutter or decaying something or other.

If you are seeing them on the main floor a lot, it probably means there's something going on down below, so take some time and check it out.

Also, if a centipede is ever chasing you, you can slow it down by inviting it to play This Little Piggy.

Ew York City will be back on Monday.  Stampede style.
