Ah!!! Roaming in my kitchen - huge bug.
Rio Rancho, New Mexico, USA
November 18, 2007
Size: 1.5 inches
What is this bug? Should I be worried? My kitty was playing with it in our kitchen. We leave our doors opened sometimes during the day to let our kitty come and go. Is it poisioness? Should there be more that I need to worry about? Please give me as much info as you can. **I have more pictures from other angles. 10 legs, pinchers in the front and huge eyes (maybe cannot see??)
Thank you,
Katie
