"but the image has no size reference so who knows how big they get?"

About 10mm.

I googled it to make sure they weren't in this area. Seems they aren't well suited to hot dry climate.

We have enough in Black Widows, Brown Recluse and scorpions (although the scorpions aren't poisonous).

True, but in the same way wasps and hornets are not poisonous. They can put one heck of an OUCH on you.

We have then here too. I took my grandchildren out one night with a portable UV light so they could see how they glow under the UV light.

Doesn't take too long to find them around tree bark, old logs etc. When you start to picture them as "land shrimp",


("Ummmmm! land shrimp!")
it's time to go back to the house and pig out.
