So, if you add it all up, I think I’ve had every critter possible in my house.  I can’t even think of what else there could be.  Here’s one category of critters that never came to mind: worms that fall from trees.  Yes, that is a thing.  So, now is the season of worms that fall from trees.  Thankfully, there are only a few in the house and I think they came in on my clothes or shoes.  There are at least 20 to 100 on my door and on the wall next to the door at all times.  I sweep them away and five minutes later it looks like I never swept.  I drove under a tree today with about 30 of them just hanging in mid air from tiny cords. I find them kind of fun to watch as they inch along, but I’m not too fond of their ability to hang from trees and then try to catch a ride on you.  I also saw a giant (about 1′ long) yellow centipede last night zipping down the road.  It was quite alarming in the light of my headlamp as I walked up to my house, but since he was not in my house, I don’t think he counts as a horror.  Still, he is burned into my memory and I can’t get him out so I thought I’d share (picture from internet).
