Scorpion hunting

 I went scorpion hunting. 
 I didn't know that was a thing people in Arizona do. 
 I also didn't know that if you shine a black light on them, scorpions glow in the dark. 

Cool.

But that's what makes them easier to find...
 and easier to get rid of with a little bit of fire...




....and a hammer, just in case...
Then it's off to hunt for the next one.

Scorpion stealth


There was a scorpion in my room this morning.
I was picking up some clothes from the floor and it was underneath. Black and scary. Only that's not what I was thinking.
I thought: "The boys haven't been here in my room, what is that plastic bug doing on my floor?"
Then it moved. Yich.
So I trapped it under the heavy Lord of the Rings movie box until I had time to do something about it.
Later, we froze him and now he's securely pinned to some styrofoam.
