I've found scorpions in my home from time to time. Seems they really like the utility wash room for some reason. Just smashed one couple weeks back. Hate em.
No scorpions here in the rain forest, but plenty of raccoons. They are cute (the raccoons) but……get into everything. The raccoon here on this forum is much better behaved, thankfully.
As a young lad I was stung three times while snuggling into a sleeping bag. It seems the scorpion had the same idea I did, but didn’t feel like sharing. Even though it hurt like a #*%$, I don’t have any lingering ill will towards scorpions, I think they’re actually pretty neat, especially given the UV fluorescence.
Congrats to the feline, it truly earned its keep, pet that furry bastard for me.
I got to the scorpion before the cat could.
She probably would have been stung if I wasn't around.
Yeah, but do you think you would have noticed that scorpion if the cat was not about to pounce on it?
That is a big sucker. Luckily, we only have the smaller less dangerous variety in this area. Something about their face being almost on top of their heads that gives me the heabies though.
