I swear I really have no interest in poop, other than it's successful exit from my person regularly.

However when Mrs. Lex10 pointed this out to me, I knew I had that type of hard-hitting blog reporting that everyone who stops in thirsts for.

This first image shows my little pond out back (taken last night) home to ~2+ frogs along with several goldfish who managed to mature and/or reproduce before they were to big to eat.

The red arrow points to a broken half planter that is meant to look like a submerged ruin, and serves as a perch for the frogs and a hiding place (underneath) for both the frogs and the fish. It is surrounded by water 360 degrees.



Next images: the poop in question. From the looks of it, mammalian. Size appropriate for a large cat or medium dog.


HOW DID IT GET THERE?
Did the animal perch at the edge of the pond making a direct hit on the planter? If a kitty, did it climb onto the planter, seeking to evacuate? What?!?! How?!?!

And more importantly, why in such an improbable location? Why?

Next image: Doodle bugs, wood lice or pill bugs - I don't care what you call them - why are THEY there?!?! Do they eat poop? Do they swim? Why aren't they buried under something? Again I say: What?!?! How?!?! Why?!?!



OK- Wikipedia says they have gills- but I've never seen one swim. They eat decaying matter - but they don't appear to be swarming the poop - more like just coincidentally there......

Sharing=caring.

Have you ever seen one of these things!?!?!?!!



I moved into a place near Atlantic City years ago and the place was infested with them. Our cat would de-leg them in the middle of the night and there'd be a neat pile of legs and a dead body next to it in the middle of the kitchen floor in the morning. Once I awoke at 3AM to my baby son's screams to see that there was one, back arched, on one of the uprights of his crib. The place had cobwebs in the basement filled with hundreds of exoskeletons of the dessicated corpses of them.

BUT There's a person who has obsessively documented the experience of this infestation better than I ever could, with quotes like:

"my sick fascination with house centipedes has led to this website, which I am hoping will cure my terrible fear of them"

"Don't be tempted to do what I did, however, and spray the aerosol can over a lighter."

"the scutigera-coleoptrata has the mildly psychic ability to sense when you are going to get something to kill it, including a paper towel or tissue, and go hide before you return"

Alternately funny and horrifying, it's definitely worth a look.

HERE is the wikipedia entry and

HERE is a link to a splendid image of one.
