"We had a scorpion in the house this morning - yikes. Hubby swept him up and flushed him."

Don't they clog up the pipes? I thought the critters were kinda big.

Many years ago when I took geology in college the professor was always careful to place a rock hammer or other object of known size in any slide he took so the audience would know the real size of the formation that had been photographed. It definitely pays to to the same thing when photographing insects or arachnids.

I had no choice on the photos 'cause I didn't take the pictures...I just referenced their URLs.

Not here - the biggest ones I've seen in this area are about 1" - 1 1/2" long - cricket size, basically.
