Ever find a scorpion in Columbus? I did


TTQ B4U

Recommended Posts

Spent some time out in Scottsdale Arizona Golfing and hiking this past week. Got back late last night and unpacked my luggage only to find a friend tagged along. Good thing I didn't decide to wear any of the cloths I bought that week!

 

He was barely alive, but moved nonetheless. :eek:

My guess is he came in from the balcony of the room. I was on the 10th floor though so he must have been on a mission. I did do some hiking but I emptied my pack so I can't imagine he made it in there. Clothing wise, I don't think he was on me as I showered after I returned.

 

Could have made in on my golf bag I suppose? Gives me the Willies for sure :o:eek:

 

I looked it up and it appears to be a Stripe tailed scorpion or possibly a Devil scorpion.

 

Damn. The scary part is unless you were camping he must have been on your clothes to get in your bag right?

if she has sores of any type, I tell her to get the hell out of my room! :p

 

Yep always check sores before putting them on, I even do it here. :) My dad was stung 2 years ago and it fucked up his nervous system for a long time and damaged his heart. The little ones are dangerous.

From my understanding im not positive but darker color means ouch bee sting. Lighter color basically means wtf my leg is numb.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_bark_scorpion

 

Second or third paragraph

 

"The bark scorpion is unusual in that it is the only species in the southwest that regularly climbs walls, trees, and other objects with a sufficiently rough surface."

 

Only reported 2 deaths since 1968 but it is one of more deadly species of scropions in united states.

I use to live in the mojave high destert in california, as a kid I would always came across scorpions, luckly was never stung, I would always make them fight the huge destert fire ants. Lucky you did not get stung or even put your shirt on, and go in public and have it hanging on the back of you, while your out at dinner or somthing.

I would have been screaming like a little girl and likely fallen in the street and gotten run over. Upside would be that I'd likely have been on You-Tube :D
