Autumn Indoor Nature in New Jersey.

One of my house pets. Scutigera coleoptrata (House Centipede) — Not a Silverfish. I haven’t seen one upstairs for some time now. Just wish they would go after the Stink Bugs that are trying to get into the house right now.

Indoor Autumn Nature in New Jersey.

Be not afraid. These guys eat other insects and spiders. They are very fast, and are not normally out during the day.

Indoor Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

My house pet. I haven’t seen one of these for a long time. This one got caught in my bathtub and couldn’t get out. I’m told they eat other insects and spiders. After taking the picture, I let it go outside. Now that is starting to warm up outside, I am seeing a number of ants scouting the house for food. After my renovation and spring cleaning they are not finding much. Scutigera coleoptrata House Centipede (Not a Silverfish). Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 105 mm f/2.8 VR macro lens (ISO 100, 105 mm, f/11, 1/125 sec) and SB-910 flash. Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 10, Focus Magic, and Silver Efex Pro.

Indoor Autumn Nature in New Jersey: House Pet Returns.

Scutigera Coleoptrata (House Centipede) — Not a Silverfish, one of my creepy crawly house pets appeared again this afternoon. Still waiting on the Drobo upgrade to complete, so spent some time taking macro images — until it got tired of the flash and went away.
