Lived in Kingman when I was a kid in 66. Rattlesnakes,BIG scorpions,centipedes,Gila monsters,tarantulas,huge tarantula hawks,vinagaroons. You name it. The scorpions were everywhere. Now I live in my native state California. I don’t know what’s worse. The bugs and snakes or the commies. I’m not afraid of anything. But a scorpion gives me the hee bee geebies.
That’s the one. Miserable little bastard. It was about an inch and a half or so, tail laid over to the side as it ran away. Killed it with a chunk of metal
The herd in the pic? Little squirt of Tempo and they are all gone.
nice holiday gift for the ones we hate nowadays
“...venom strong enough to cause severe symptoms in the entire United States...”
That’s some fierce venom.
DON’T tell Fauci. He’ll keep Arizona locked down until the first freeze.
With that guy, IAS I suppose
Awww.... Mom and her grubs. A family picture.
How appropriate for a Mother’s Day post.
Grasshopper mice prey on scorpions - as one nature show put it, they are the size of a cupcake but have the disposition of a psychopath. Showed one mouse getting stung repeatedly in the face by a scorpion but the mouse didn’t care - it went after the scorpion like a deranged serial killer, got it too. They might make good anti-scorpion pets for your home, except they howl at night.
I like this one.

Who loves them?.........their Mothers of course.
Rented a house and inside of a garage wall cavity were 15 baby rattlers. ...one morning I found momma on the front porch keeping my daily newspaper warm......always keep alert.
Over a hundred years ago we successfully hunted them to extinction here in Michigan....The same with alligators and penguins.
Missed your comment somehow. Careless of me.
Scorplings another term for antifa!
