House centipedes, Scutigera coleoptrata, can be found running in and out of the pebble beach by the bathing pools at La Valette. They run very fast and are difficult to photograph. This specimen was on the concrete steps leading up from the beach. It froze long enough that I could photograph it. This specimen was photographed on the 10 June 2007. I have seen this species running along the wall forming Castle Breakwater which forms the northern border of Havelet Bay on Guernsey's east coast.

I visited the seashore at La Valette during the night of June 10, 2007 to clean the pebble beach of litter left by the summer crowd. During my visit I saw several very fast moving house centipedes, Scutigera coleoptrata, running over and under the pebbles and cobbles on the beach. The centipedes on the pebble beach were too fast to photograph but I saw this individual on the concrete steps leading from the beach to the seawater bathing pools. His body was about 4 cm long and he remained still while I took a number of photos with a Canon digital camera. File No. LaV 100607 639 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
