Found It!
I found the photo of the bark scorpion on my bathroom tile from several years ago that I mentioned in this previous post. This was the month we moved into the ranch, and I was completely smitten with the whole idea of Everything Desert. Obviously, I had yet to be stung. My whole body repulses at the thought of them now…nonetheless, in the interest of full disclosure, I bring one to the blog:
I’m still in love with the desert, but now I recognize that the entire enterprise wants to sting you, bite you, or stick you.
Ouch. We used to find them all the time under rocks, in shoes. Drove me nuts. The cats thought they were toys.

Ah yes. Familiar little creature.
They are especially cute as they crawl on the wall of your shower, or behind the bar of soap (which is where my little sting happened).
Thing is; they were their 1st. We’re the invaders I’m afraid.
Here in Washington State, we have killer racoons.

And they’ll be here last. They’re like cockroaches in that respect. Nuclear holocaust’s got nothing on them.
