Ok....this little fella really scared me!!! I found him a nice color of brown to match my dresser....actually ON MY DRESSER!!!
As scared as I was to try to catch this guy.....or gal...(I didn't get too close...and even if I did - I wouldn't have known the gender anyway!), I knew that I HAD
to catch it and get it OUT of my house!
I could NEVER have gone to sleep in that room again - if I knew it was lose in my bedroom!
Sooo....after failed attempts to recruit a neighbor's help - I found a pitcher and moved the dresser from the wall - and caught him.....jiggled him to the bottom of the pitcher...and put the lid on top! I walked him out the door over to our mulched area on the side of the yard! WHEW!!! I had goose-bumps trying to work through this dilemma! Scared the life out of me!!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh, how I wish I had been there to witness that! :o)
A few years ago, we were able to witness a nest of them hatch in a jar. THOUSANDS of them (teensy tiny) came crawling out of it, and we took them to a nature preserve and released them. It was a neat experience... and I wasn't as creeped out by them as I thought I would be! (of course, they were tiny little babies, and not the giant mama or papa you saw!) :o)
