I found a scorpion (we called them stinging lizards) a year or so back and simply stomped on it. Not exactly big news.
“The Zoo” was a better tune and for date night music “Still” couldn’t be beat.
Scorpions skeeve me out, worse even than spiders. I’d have taken a can of Raid to the thing (and used half of it in the process, LOL).
My next door neighbor’s son was eaten by scorpions. He was actually a pretty nice kid.
Who would hesitate to kill a venomous vermin?
Seems like an expensive way to get rid of a bug. Down here we simply stomp them into the ground. Only takes a second.
Hasn’t the animal protection society taken control of the farm yet to protect the scorpions against the hateful humans?
I sprayed him with insecticide for quite a while before he quit moving. Kept him in a jar for awhile then through it away. I bet one that big could really harm you.
In Texas you simply smash a scorpion.
Next time I see a spider in the house....I’ll know to call Animal Control.
I’ve flicked a dozen into the campfire in one night. And when you pull up your tent in the morning there’s a dozen more staying warm right under your sleeping spot.
Creepy little buggers.
Back in Arizona, I’ve had bark scorpions crawling on my flesh. That will change up your breathing in a quick hurry.
I still remember the time my wife found a mama bark scorpion in the kitchen cabinet where we kept the glasses. She (the scorpion) had several dozen transparent babies on her back.
We carefully moved the glasses out of the way and sprayed 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive on them all so none of the babies could get loose and wander. Then stuck a piece of cardboard to the pile of them and moved them out.
A friend got stung by one while she was working in the back yard. For the rest of the day, every few minutes, she would scream in pain. She got over it in time.
I always thought that was “Raunchy Like a Hurricane” lol
I was stung by a scorpion when I was 8. I remember screaming and crying. It hurt like hell.
I killed the thing. Just instinct.
I used to collect scorpians in jars and watch them fight whatever we put in there with em. They are everywhere here under just about any flat rock. Never been stung by one, but I hear that the ones we have aren’t deadly.
I can’t believe someone on a farm would actually do all that to save one...
Scorpions are not normally found in Wi?
