The flight, which was headed for Quito, Ecuador was delayed for three hours.
News of the scorpion incident got out when passengers started tweeting about the ordeal.

United Airlines, accepting their part in the coming apocalypse by using a scorpion flail to scourge the unworthy!
As kids we were always warned about Vinegaroon scorpions. The tale told is that they were the MOST POISONOUS of all!
We later found it wasn’t so.
"Insect?" Really?!
I once replaced the HSI in a C5 written up as “damaged during landing.” The HSI is one of the primary analog instruments, and shows aircraft heading information.
When I got to the plane, the glass face of the HSI was shattered, and embedded within it were the remains of a very large spider.
Apparently, on final approach the copilot noticed the spider crawl up from under the instrument panel. He slid his seat back, and put his boot through the HSI to kill it.
Talk about an exciting landing.
I still remember Marlon Brando slicing open his hand after being bit by a scorpion in THE APPALOOSA (1966).
Then there was THE BLACK SCORPION on TCM last night.
Maybe, but not likely. There are over 1,500 species of scorpions in the world and only 50 MIGHT be able to take down a human ... depending on said human's health.
There's only one in the U.S. that can be deadly ... the Arizona Bark Scorpion.
Texas scorpion stings are like warp stings. Not fatel unless your allergic.
Scorpions are not insects.
OUT of a person’s clothes?

We have scorpions all over Nevada. Was everyone barefoot? STOMP on the SOB!! I do it every spring....
