You are welcome I love scorpions.

:shocked: Really? LOVE them? :faint: I don't know if you saw the other photo [link] that I have in my Scraps. It wasn't a clear enough photo to put in my main gallery. Having been stung by a bark and a striped in my house and a hairy outside, I have no love for these critters. They are lumbering prehistoric miniature monsters that accidently find food. From what I've seen, they find prey more or less by mistake and only change directions when they can't climb over, under or through something. I do admit that it is fun to watch one who has stumbled onto a termite or ant trail do their sting, grab, eat assembly line feeding.

I cant say I would enjoy them as much if I ever got stung. I find the Prehistoric qualities of them fascinating. I am also amused that they are an ambush predator. But you have some nice pictures of them.

:giggle: Yeah, getting stung especially by a barky really gives you an instant dislike for them. That little son of a gun hurts as bad as a kidney stone but in a different way. That's one powerful neurotoxin. The other two aren't much worse than being hit with a hot ember, burns kind of like a more potent red ant but fades quickly compared to barky. Thank you. Hopefully I can get photos of the other varieties someday without them getting into the house first or stinging me. Once their ambush spot wears out, that's when they go on the move until they stumble onto another good spot.

I had a huge one, probably a hairy, that I found in my barn basically running around in circles stinging at an imaginary enemy. I relocated him outside under a palo verde tree to watch what happened to him since something had to be seriously wrong with him. I don't use chemicals but do use diatomaceous earth in the barn so he could have already begun to dehydrate from cuts. Unfortunately, someone who was working here saw him and deliberately ran over him with their vehicle. I asked why since he wasn't where he could harm anyone. I think it was pure reflex on his part.

The really funny part is that about 4 days earlier he'd bragged that he never had run into any of the desert nasty creepy crawlies even though he often hiked in the desert. The next day he called me out to check something about the new patio roof he was building and I said I can't until you pin down the rattler at my door. Well, he injured the rattler in pinning him down so I couldn't have the fire dept relocate him. I ended his misery. The following day he said he hoped that the big tarantula wasn't a friend of mine as he tripped and fell squashing it when he hit the lumber pile. It had dark legs so it was a male blonde. The third day was the huge hairy scorpion in the driveway where I'd put him in the shade. Surprise, surprise, the guy didn't show up to work on the fourth day. I guess he didn't want to meet the giant sonoran centipede that probably would have come calling that day to round out the creepy crawlies. He eventually showed up again but kept an eagle eye out for things from then on whenever he worked for me. There is an open section of federal land to my west so I get a lot of the sonoran desert fauna.
