Centipede Frustration!!!

If you can identify this, please let me know!


Papa Spook caught this for me under a log out in our bayou. I like to somewhat identify the bugs I sell, but I have no idea what this little bugger is. It's a red centipede. There are over 8,000 species of centipede, only 3,000 of which are described, and all I've got to go on is that it's red.
Go me.
 I feel as if Grandmother Spook would give me a very hard time for selling this ring- she's terrified of centipedes and millipedes. You can't win them all, I guess- sorry grandmaw. I think he's cute, in a deceptively fast, aggressive, toxic and prehistoric kind of way.
I've got another one still alive if anyone is interested in a custom piece.

I also have an unidentified spider, and apologize for the crappy picture:
What the EFF is this thing!? About the size of a penny, He's lightning-fast and can climb up the sides of the glass jar. Tan-brown legs with a black body, distinctive tanish-white markings on abdomen. He's still alive, and most often curls up as shown in the photo.


Lookie what PapaSpook brought home!

Beautiful, isn't she? My hubs caught her with no gloves on! I was kind of freaking out the WHOLE TIME I was putting her in resin.

GO OUTSIDE!

Went on a bug-huntin' excursion today, here's the booty:
Damselfly OR Dragonfly nymph

Freaky mosquito-hawk looking thing

Cuckoo Wasp - He is covered in dirt but is a bright blue color. It took me and Aaron ages to catch one, illusive little bastards!

Friday

Bugs!

I caught these guys over Labor Day weekend in my hometown of Lufkin,Texas. Aren't they AWESOME!? The moths are huge!
