Warm day in February


The temperature soared one day this week to 70 degrees, which seemed to awaken many creepy crawly things.  This week I found a House Fly, Paper Wasp, Boxelder Bug, Green Lacewing, and House Centipede.  I also had a fly-over by a very vocal Killdeer heading north.  The House Centipede was probably the biggest shock, found skittering across the floor in my basement.  While researching this species, I found out that people in other parts of the world apparently keep them as pets.  Yuk.
