I was sitting at my kotatsu, low Japanese table, when this thing scurried by me. It's pretty big, and pretty scary... but it's also pretty cool so I herded it into the middle of the room and took a few pictures. It was about 5 inches long and surprisingly quick. It's a local centipede, or mukade as I later learned. When I told the other English teacher about it she informed that they are quite poisonous
and that the previous English teacher was bit by one and had to go to the hospital. So, I won't be herding them around anymore, but I'm glad I got a few pictures at least. For the non squeamish please click on the photos to enlarge them (any picture can be enlarged).

Get some spray and kill them all, yuk.
Argh! Centipedes have always been a personal terror to me. I had to enlarge the photo though, just to give myself the chills.

kill it with flame!
"The Cat" is pretty worthless. He's about as likely to protect me as he is to leave me alone.
