I live in an older house, so I probably have a leaky everything. I have had a lot of plumbing issues--leaky toilets, leaky pipes, etc. I also have a window air conditioning unit in the bedroom which seems to create quite a bit of moisture around the window.They spend one to three years developing in water, then crawl out of the water to pupate. It would be odd to find one inside a house, unless there's leaky plumbing, air conditioner, roof or some other water source close by.
I'll be curious to hear what 'WhatsThatBug' website says. That's where I found the hellgrammite.
I am curious as to what they will tell me too. I was browsing the site a little and discovered that what I saw also closely resembles a stone centipede. It fortunately looks nothing like a house centipede, which can live 5 to 7 years IN YOUR HOUSE. It gives me chills thinking about it.
