Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: @alacran Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Originally Posted By flippflopped: There are a few varieties that can actually kill people with their venom @alacran @80085 Awww, that’s just a miniature crawdad. How cute! They do love to cuddle! In my early teen years, my aunt & uncle had an underground house with an atrium in the center. Well, those little buggers would come in from the dirt of the atrium into the cool house during the summer after the house was first built and then seek nice warm places during the night. One summer night, one of them found the warmth of my bed and stung me on the wrist around 5:00 in the morning. That day, my whole arm was throbbingly numb well into that evening. The pain was memorable (possibly due to the 5am wake-up call) as well as the lasting effect of the sting enough to inspire my username as well as my avatar. Yes, I also played C&C back in the day, so it obviously did played a part in selecting my avatar but the sting on my wrist was truly the main influence. BTW, my experience from that summer was that they do tend to travel in pairs so if you see one crawling on the wall and catch him, find the other one before your head hits the pillow that night or you may wake up in the middle of the night screaming. We caught several that summer, put then in a jar with an alcohol soaked cotton ball and sealed the lid to kill them. Getting stung again has pretty much been my greatest phobia ever since. If only I had known the power of the black light back then.  |

Their venom is also more potent than many of the bigger scorps that are found in the US. They are considered to have been introduced accidentally. Not nearly as common as in the southwest US though. My parents live there and my father talks about them from time to time. |

AZ bark scorpion is not the only bark scorpion in the US. There are quite a few Centruroides in the US. They’re all Buthidae family which means they’re potent.

I don't get it. (??) I'm kind of surprised OP didn't know what a scorpion looked like. I thought some images are all over books & the internet and over the years you just can't miss it. Not judging OP on that, as I much as I just find it really strange. Now posting ugly body parts...OP shoulda known better than that!!

That is my cats favorite toy. They can play with it a long time and it doesn't die at the first good swat like most insects. Tough little bastards. I am also wondering how in hell one got to the east coast.

My brother once asked if there was a tickling kind and she wanted make sure we knew she killed the stinging kind. |

I have to do the dirty work and they always give me a look like "why"? Don't know why but they don't even try to sting my cats. That’s what happens when they get an abundance of free food and they don’t have to work for it. My cats are the same way. I don’t have a scorpion problem but my cats have brought small snakes into the house just to play with. So far, they’ve only been rat snakes but my next door neighbor did find a den of copperheads on his property a while back. Cats are still great, though. |

That’s the rare Hobbitoe nesting bark scorpion. Carolina variant.
