Hahaha brings back memories! (I lived in hawaii for 5 years first mililani then pearl city). Have you seen any scorpions yet? We used to find them in our clothes drawers, but dont worry THEY dont get big.

I know someone who got bit by a centipede out there. It crawled up her pant leg and bit her right above her boot (we were out with our horses) and she couldn't walk for 2 weeks. Her ENTIRE leg swelled up and she was in a LOT of pain. Those buggers are hard to kill too! Try stepping on one and your foot will slide right off it!

What about the cane spiders? Have you seen those yet? I could tell you some horror stories about those too! We used to get them in the barn all the time. I miss hawaii!

Yea, I'm up in the mountain, and I see them all the time. I've never had on in the house yet, we have the house treated for ants and that also keep centipedes and scorpians out, and I'm so so so thankfull about that

That makes me feel better about living here. Really, thats one of my concerns. I was painting the floor in the bathroom where I work, after dark and spotted one, couldn't sit on the floor after that. I caught that one, put it in my paint bucket, there was only about 1/8" of paint in it. I sealed the cover back on, then 3 days later I opened it. He was covered with paint and had no air or food for 3 days and was still very alive. Then I sprayed aint killer spray in the bucket and it went nuts for about 5 minutes the finaly died.

Yea, there were problems with my server. They ended up going down for a while and that's where all my pics are.

No thats not a cane spider. Cane spiders are very much like Wolf spiders. Big and solid grey. You usually find them near the cane fields (hence the name lol) We had the dole plantation right up the hill where we had our horses and they would come down and get in the barn and lay their eggs.

Yeah those centipedes are tough little things! Hella hard to kill! But I lived there for 5 years and never got bit. Sure got the CRAP scared outta me by the bufos tho! Walking home at night. Did you know they get as big as cats?

Ok, I think I've seen the cane spider then. Are they big & scary looking and move very fast? Are they poisonous?

I've seen centipedes 10" long, knew they could get up to 12" long, are you saying they get bigger than that?

Not the centipedes, the Bufos. The BUFOS get as big as cats. I'm really not sure if the cane spiders are poisonous or not, but I do know that they carry their eggs on their stomachs. How do I know? I stepped on one that was on its way to our barn and millions upon millions upon MILLIONS of babies when running out from under my foot in every which direction. (((shudders))) You seriously could not even IMAGINE the number of babies that came out of there! I freaked and started trying to step on them all ROFL (I'm sure that was a funny sight!) Cane spiders ARE aggressive tho so dont tease one or it'll attack you!

Have you not heard of the Bufos yet?

I've SEEN 12inch centipedes!! We had one on the side of our house outside one day and I took a shovel to it. It took me 10 min of slashing and hacking at this thing to kill it. Its armor was unbelievably hard against the shovel!!
