Yikes!

OMG!  I mean really!!!!  OMG!!!

This is what greeted us in the driveway the other night when we came home from a date night/youth group.  This thing was about 4 inches long and is called a Giant Hairy Scorpion.



I know they live all over out here, but I've not seen one actually alive and scuttling about.  The boys (Jeremy and Hunter) poked and prodded him and it was interesting that he was not easy to make upset.  I'm not sure they ever got him to strike with his stinger.  But I do NOT want to step on one of those, nor find it in my bed, nor on my floor,  nor in my bathtub.

I DO NOT LIKE THEM SAM I AM!!!


Jeremy did tell me that he killed one once on the stairway, but I wasn't there to see it.  So glad I wasn't but the fact that I know they can get in just really creeps me out!
