One of the down sides of living in Parau

Sarah and I were shocked to find this giant centipede in our bedroom today.














At about 15cm, it was far too big to be inside!!














So it was given refugee status and released into the garden......the far end of the garden.




























For the science geeks out there, we think it may be Cormocephalus rubriceps - the largest New Zealand centipede, which can grow up to 25cm.
