I always saw a millipede type insect with a shell. I don't think Kafka wanted to name an insect, he just wanted it to be monsorous and dirty.

I agree. Not only is he excessive with dialogue, but some of his mannerisms -- like italicizing only one syllable of a word -- are, in the end, just mannerisms. But he is a master in using gestures to enliven the story. There are many gestures that stay with you forever after reading a Salinger story -- like some bits with an ashtray in "Franny & Zooey", or numerous things in "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters" -- much as bits of dialogue can stay with you.
