I was in Three Points, Arizona, over the weekend. There were hoards of flying bugs, a kind of bug that I had never seen before in my life, but they flew and played dead if you scared them. The scorpion that we found did not play dead, but it is dead now.
Like it.
I take it you killed the scorpion? Did you save the body so you can get it taxidermied?
The scorpion was a about 4″, not counting the tail. One of my brave friends with tennis shoes stepped on it, and there was no way it could be saved. It crunched into a lot of pieces and it let loose a large puddle of liquid. It’s surprising how much liquid it let out.
No. Freakin. Way. The scorpion was 4″? Oh crap. I woulda freaked out.
Oh, wow! I’ve never seen a bug like that, either! I had to look hard at your photo to see it! Stealthy little bugger!
