Where's a Scorpion when ya need one?

HUSKER 37

HUSKER 37

All-American
My Son and I went to our CHANDLER/GILBERT (AZ) neighborhood park last night with our new LED flashlight "Blacklight" we got on sale at ACE hardware Saturday, and couldn't find any (They Fluoresce bright green)..although I almost got KO'd by some sort of playground equipment 'cause I was looking down when I should have been watching where I was goin'..My 8-yr old is still laughing. :bang

I got one (I thought dead) in my kitchen Fluorescent light fixture a couple months ago..I decided to leave it there until my next weekend with my Son, but it was gone the next day..(Yikes!). :madash When I lived in Ahwatukee, I picked one up off the carpet in the dark hallway thinking it was a leaf my Husky dragged in.(Double Yikes!) :madash :madash .. I heard Cats are useful for ridding your house of the varmit scorpions...BUT THE VARMIT CAT SMELL might make you want to take your chances with a dog and see how that works out.

I played with the scorpion (that I caught in Ahwatukee) in my bathroom sink, and had to really almost hurt him with a #2 pencil to get him to sting the eraser..Took ~5 min of pestering..then he snuck down the drain that I must not have closed all the way..Let's just say my water heater ran out of hot H2O.

Man we have these transluscent scorpions here in OK about an inch to an inch and a half. I got nailed by one twice one day. I picked up some old lumber (deck ballasters) and it felt like I poked myself with a nail. Then it happened again. THEN I realized what the hell it was and dropped the ballasters. I didn't see the scorpion itself buy my wife did and she said there was another one in the remaining pile of ballasters. Those things hurt like a SOB when they nail you. No swelling or anything but my index finger was throbbing for a few minutes.

 
Here are some Scorpions for you:

uNBELIEVABLE!

Thought I'd check this thread before I took a shower..nothing new..

Went upstairs slowly took my clothes off real seductive like and noticed what I thought was a crusty dried up snot-rocket on the side of the bathtub...

Bent down and reached out to see how well it was stuck and it moved!

Cute? little baby varmit scorpion about 1/2" long. Even fit into a Corona bottle.

So...How long before this strange urge to wear my glasses to bed and in the shower goes away?

That is just flat out creepy, I would call a pest control dude and have your house vaporized! I could not imagine having scorpions in my house, big a** spiders like the one i killed last weekend is bad enough. Glad i killed it, could not imagine that thing crawling on my 1 yr old. :madash

I'm a little hypersensitive to pesticides from overexposure while testing some pretty nasty ones in my more madder scientist days (if I remember right? :dumdum )..I prefer sicking the gecos on them for now

............where as me...........would have been.........COOL, I just found a baby scorpion......... :woo
Considering that mommy scorpion carries her babies on her back until they are old enough to crawl off..........I'm thinking you might be seeing more of them since you found one baby.........sorry........ chuckleshuffle

Yeah..One of the other mad scientists I work with already tried convincing me that they travel in pairs just to see if I flinched (Don't they eat/kill each other on sight?..Isn't that Why the babies travel on Mom's back-So she doesn't eat them?

I was also told the young ones are more potent because they dont "quick strike" and back off...The beginners "shoot their entire load" from what they were trying to tell me..I said, "You sure you're not thinking of Baby Rattlesnakes"? :blink:
