Just like the title says we found a purple centipede more than 6" long coming from the LR. [mod edit] Anyone know what it is?

they are good to have but are rather ugly looking. you can try and catch it to remove it if you'd like
 
Why can't I upload pics from my phone? It was huge, pink in front and purple in back... White legs, really interesting looking! Wanna show you, dagnabbit

Just make sure you don't touch it. If by accident it does happen use vinegar to dissolve the bristles.
