My friend called me one night and asked me to come help identify the critter in her kitchen light fixture. It was a scorpion, albeit a little one. She lives in Norcross GA. She found a couple around her house when they were building on the lots behind her house.
The ones she found were really little though. The exterminator told her they would not be poisonous but it would be like a spider bite if she or her children got stung.
People in Norcross, GA only WISH they had scorpion problems. The people in Texas really do have scorpion problems. LOL.
