Hi Anna Banana Kruchten, CRS - What a wonderful educational experience for the people in your area! There are many people who don't know much about scorpions and have the wrong idea. I think it's wonderful to discover the truth and what better place to teach than the desert!

Hi Anna

I had to come read this after seeing your critter photo on Facebook. That has to be quite the experience, out hunting these things in the desert. Hopefully it will cool down below 100, LOL!

Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Anna- I had no idea they were that old!!!  I know I'd rather go on that hunt than the python hunts they have here.
