Color: Yellowish to green, with colorful hind wings with blue, red, orange, or yellow bands on them

House Centipede

Pill Bug

Habitat: Lawn turf, under leaves, and moist areas of decaying vegetation.

Scorpion

Size: 1” to 7”
Color: Yellowish tan to dark brown
How to Recognize: Recognizable by the large claws in front and the long, narrow tail tipped by a stinger.
Habitat: Under debris, or woodpiles on the soil, within the clutter in storage areas. Damper areas may also be an attraction to many of them.
Behavior: Nocturnal predators that feed on other animals, using their stinger to subdue their prey. To humans, their sting can be painful, but their venom poses few health concerns.
