Summertime in the Southwest


Do I even need to say anything more! Honestly! I hate these SOB's! So freaking creepy! This is a bark scorpion, in case you didn't know. They are poisonous and they are the only (as far as I have been told) scorpions that can crawl up walls, etc.

My husband found it today in this glue trap in our garage.

Last summer when I was putting my youngest in her car seat in the garage, I saw one crawling on the garage floor. Guess what I did? What any other sane person who hates these @?*! things! I got in my SUV, pulled back onto the driveway and lined up the tires as well as I could from the view I had of it and ran his little creepy a** over! Happy Ending.

My husband thought it would be a good idea to get it out of the glue box (it was alive) and put it in a container to show our family who will be visiting in less than 2 weeks! WTF!?! Are you freaking kidding me??? I made sure he smashed the heck out of that thing and got rid of it.

Another happy ending.

(sorry for the 'language' but I seriously get so upset whenever I see these things!)

Summer in the Southwest.

  17. Hi,

    I guess that I've never seen a scorpio live; if I saw it in the zoo, I can't remember.
    In portuguese we say escorpião and one can also say lacrau, which is a popular version.

    Have a nice weekend,

    José

  24. Okay, being as I'm from Chicago, the bugs I hear about from other parts of the U.S. scare the crud out of me. Holy smokes I would freak if I saw that bad boy anywhere.

    Popping in from SITS to wish you a happy Sunday.

  25. Oh my gosh!!!!! That is one scary looking bug. The poisinous thing got to me a bit too. I think I would be running them over as well.

    ReplyDelete
  26. holy crap, there is nothing that grosses me out more than white bugs. I feel like they can hide in with my white dishes and white underpants and white everything else that I have!

    Ick!

  28. I've romantically toyed with the idea of a holiday somewhere in the southwest U.S. ...spectacular sunsets, rugged scenery ....now I'm not quite so sure!

  29. My sign is Scorpio...but I would have still killed the b*astard.

    Another reason to stay in the northeast...smaller bugs.
