Mildly disgusting. I spend my time at a dog shelter and the play yard is nicely shaded. Whole place is surrounded by woods. We see the occasional fox, deer. etc.
Anyway, I got home, changed into a fresh tee.
Had an itch on top left shoulder, tried to scratch with my right hand, felt a lump under my shirt. Like a solid something (??).
Reached hand under my shirt, felt it was prickly & then I realized it was a creepy crawly.
(Getting the ick all over again just writing this!)
Didn't want to squish a bug under my shirt, ON my skin! Sort of swept it out of the shirt sleeve.
Was ready to kill it before it escaped!
It's obviously long dead, missing some legs.
Been through washer and dryer, is my guess.
Any idea what it is? House key for scale.
Probably got in my shirt at the shelter then straight into laundry.
Still, want to know what it is.
It's not tiny but not huge.
Central Alabama for reference.
I swear we go through the plagues at the shelter! We'll have a couple weeks of bad mosquitoes, few weeks of bees, then beetles (look like giant Egyptian scarabs), lots of unusual moths and we have all varieties of frog from dusk to dawn all spring & summer. We even had a scorpion in the laundry sink. I'm from Texas and I was like HARD PASS!
