Crawling Insects Crawling Insects: European Earwigs (Forficula auricularia) Category: General Crawling 3/4' long, reddish-brown insects that have curved rear pincers. They are found in lawns and occasionally inside. They feed on vegetation. Their pincers make these insects appear dangerous, but they are of no harm to humans. Centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrata) Category: General Crawling 3/4 - 1" yellowish to dark brown in color, centipedes are long and flat with many segments to their bodies. They inhabit moist dark areas, such as basements, closets and bathrooms. Millipedes (Class Diplopoda) Category: General Crawling Average around 2" in length. Usually blackish or brownish in color. Millipedes are often referred to as "thousand-leggers". The are typically found in areas of high moisture and decaying vegetation such as under trash, piles of grass clippings, mulches, etc. They are most active at night. Pavement Ants (Tetramorium caespitum) Category: General Crawling 1/16 - 1/8" long, body light brown to black with paler legs and antennae. Pavement ants nest outdoors under stones, sidewalks and concrete slabs, but will occasionally nest in walls or under floors. These ants also swarm (have wings) in the spring time and are often mistaken for termite swarmers. Pillbugs and Sowbugs (Order Isopoda) Category: General Crawling 1/2' long pests that feed upon decaying vegetation. They live and breed under objects that are on damp soil. Pillbugs and sowbugs often infest basements, crawl spaces and potted plants. Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina) Category: General Crawling 1/2 - 5/8" in length. With color variations from gray to black, this wingless, slender insect has long antennae, shiny scales and three tail-like cerci. Silverfish like warm, damp undisturbed areas. Their food sources are those such as cereals, flour, paper, curtains, wallpaper and other starchy materials. Silverfish can severely damage books. Spiders (Order Araneae) Category: General Crawling 1/2 - 1 1/2" long. Most spiders are not poisonous and like warm, dark places. In homes, they frequent wall cracks, corners, air vents, and the area beneath shingles and eaves. They are also found in woodpiles, under stones and on leaves. They are active at night, searching for insects to eat. Cockroaches Category: General Crawling Cockroaches carry bacteria such as salmonella, and may also increase the risk of asthma, especially in children. The most common cockroaches in our area are the German cockroach, the Pennsylvania wood cockroach, the Oriental cockroach, and the Brown-banded cockroach. Brown-banded Cockroach (Supella longipalpa) Category: General Crawling 5/8" long, with light and dark bands on its back. The Brown- banded cockroach, unlike other roaches, prefers a dry living area. They can often be found in light switches, outlets, lamps, etc. Females produce 600 offspring. German Cockroach (Blatella germanica) Category: General Crawling 5/8" long, brownish-yellow with two dark stripes behind its head. The German cockroach is the most common cockroach and prefers moist, warm, dark areas. It is often found in kitchen cabinets, bathrooms, ceiling voids and appliance motors. A single female can produce 36 offspring every 30-40 days. Pennsylvania Wood Cockroach (Parcoblatta Pensylvanica) Category: General Crawling 1/2 - 3/4" long, chestnut brown colored and identified by the white stripes on the edges of the thorax and front portion of the wings. They live in tree stumps, hollow trees, rotted logs, firewood, etc. Oriental Cockroach (Blatta orientalis) Category: General Crawling 1 - 1 1/2" being black in color, this roach is commonly called a sewer roach or waterbug. They live in cool, moist areas, such as crawl spaces, drain pipes, etc. A single female will produce about 200 offspring. .

E-mail: [email protected] The order, family, genus and species of the house centipede are new to Asian Russia’s list: Scutigeromorpha, Scutigeridae, Scutigera Lamark, 1801, and Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758). All records of the species in the south of western Siberia appear to be associated with synanthropic habitats. Distributional remarks are provided, all currently reported findings being mapped as well. Key words: house centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata, Scutigeridae, Scutigeromorpha, anthropochore, faunistics, introduction, Siberia. INTRODUCTION The centipede fauna of Siberia is very poorly-studied. All former research has been devoted to Lithobiomorpha and Geophilomorpha in natural habitats. Investigating anthropogenic habitats in the south of western Siberia, we have currently found the house centipede Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758). Both the order Scutigeromorpha, and the family Scutigeridae it belongs to, are almost worldwide, distributed in all continents, on all major islands and many oceanic islands with the exception of Antarctica, and many records refer to introduced populations of Scutigera coleoptrata (Bonato & Zapparoli, 2011). The samples treated below have been deposited in the collection of the Altai State University, Barnaul, Russia (ASU).

    http://hdl.handle.net/1813/43838 2015 Community House Centipedes: Lots of Legs, but not a Hundred House centipedes are predatory arthropods that can be found both indoors and outdoors. They prefer damp places, including basements, bathrooms and even pots of over-watered plants, where they feed on insects and spiders. As predators of other arthropods, they can be considered a beneficial organism, but are most often considered a nuisance pest when present in the home. Did you know … ? • By the Numbers: There are approximately 8,000 species of Common House Centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata Linnaeus). Photo: G. Alpert. centipedes. • Form-ally Speaking: Centipedes come in a variety of forms and sizes. Depending on the species they can be red, brown, black, white, orange, or yellow. Some species are shorter than an inch, while tropical species can be up to a foot in length! • Preying on the Predators: Larger centipedes can feed on mice, toads, and even birds. • Preference or Requirement? Centipedes prefer moist areas because they lack a waxy exoskeleton. In dry areas, centipedes can die from desiccation or drying out. Identification Common House Centipede close-up. Photo: G. Alpert. Adult house centipedes measure one to two inches in length, but may appear larger because of their 15 pair of long legs. House centipedes are yellow-gray in color, with three black stripes that span the length of the body, and black bands on their legs. The last pair of legs is very long and is modified to hold onto prey items. These and other legs can be detached defensively if grasped by a predator.

(ORTHOPTERA: BLATTIDAE) IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT by Ellen Mary Thoms Committee Chairman: William H Robinson Entomology (ABSTRACT) The oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis L., was found to be an important seasonal household pest. Of 151 residents interviewed in two Roanoke apartment complexes in Virginia, 90% had seen oriental cockroaches, 60% considered one oriental cockroach indoors to be a problem, and 77% had taken steps to control these cockroaches. Monitoring oriental cockroach populations indicated when and where treatment would be necessary to reduce cockroach infestations. The adult cockroach population peaked in late June and July, and declined through August and September while the number of nymphs increased. Eighty percent of all cockroaches trapped at Roanoke apartment buildings were caught at porches, the primary cockroach harborage sites. In a mark-recapture study at four apartment buildings, 50% of the resighted oriental cockroaches remained at one porch, 36% moved alc:>ng one side of a building, 13% moved between the front and back of a building, and 2% moved between two buildings. Only 1-5% of the oriental cockroaches marked outdoors were ever captured indoors.

    EENY159 Oriental Cockroach, Blatta orientalis Linnaeus (Insecta: Blattodea: Blattidae)1 Kim McCanless2 Introduction The origin of the oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis Linnaeus, is uncertain, but it is thought to be from Africa or south Russia. It is a major household pest in parts of the northwest, mid-west, and southern United States. It is also sometimes referred to as the “black beetle” or a “water bug” because of its dark black appearance and tendency to harbor in damp locations. Description The oriental cockroach is approximately 1 inch long (22 to 27mm) and dark brown to black. Males have wings covering 3/4 of their body, and the female has very short Figure 1. Female oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis Linnaeus. (rudimentary) wings. The inner wing folds like a fan and is Credits: Rebecca W. Baldwin, UF/IFAS membranous. The outer part of the wing is narrow, leathery and thick. The styli between a pair of jointed cerci can identify the male. Both the male and female are flightless. Figure 2.
