Gross bug, incredible detail,

Yes, that's the corner of the litter box. No, I don't know what kind of bug it is beyond it being the icky kind with a lot of legs that causes me to want to not be in the same room with it.

Click original size to see the amazing (and gross) detail.

Update: You guys are all so helpful! The people on LJ had a lot of comments and links about the leggy bugger in the photo too. Damn, the Internet is neat.

He has cousins who used to run rampant in our old house. Ugh. I HATE those things.

Silly...once it goes past 6 legs, it aint a bug no more. Just an invertabrate!

Common name is thousand legger. Yuck is right! I usually kindly put all bugs outside but I haven't been able to do that with these.
