A Nasty Bug

Our little dog, Cabela, flushed this nasty-looking fellow from behind the compost bin today. She was about to investigate further (and probably would have been stung) but I held her away from the scorpion while I administered a stomp that ended the threat. It was still twitching a bit when I took the photo. Click on the image to enlarge.

    They may be ugly and dangerous, but you and Damsel ought to get a UV light. They become quite beautiful in UV, for they fluoresce wonderfully.

    That sounds like a good idea, Crotalus . . .

    We just ordered a pair of these.
