Scorpions, yay.

Scorpion season arrived shortly after snake season. So far I've had scorpions in my mail, on my skirt (that I put on before I noticed what was clinging to it), in my mixing bowl, and in my juice glass.

The video features the scorpion that was in the mixing bowl. The bowls are metal and I store them above eye level so as I brought it down from the shelf I got an eyeful of this guy. I flipped out slightly and squawked while tossing the bowl in the air. Luckily Mr. Scorpion landed in the sink.

From there I was able to capture him on film and then capture him in my high-tech plastic container and cardboard bugmobile. All sorts of bugs have been escorted outside in the bugmobile.
