Hi, these are.ghastly things & we have them here at the finca outside PL. As their name implies they are banded and are really quite attractive with yellow, brown, green & black markings. They are really sinuous and off course all those legs moving like banks of oars. Their bite is apparently intensely painful & a Spanish neighbour ended up in hospital on iv painkillers. As with all such bites, stings those at risk would be children, elderly, those that are allergic and animals. On one occasion we found one of 8" in the bed. To this end all our thresholds, vent grills are regularly sprayed with Maton & we do find dead ones of 2-3"'quite frequently. They are carnivores so think they are after the earwigs that take cover around.the door.
BEST WISHES & Happy New Year,
Bob and Sandra
