Yea scorpions are pretty badass. I saw one a while back at the park that was about that size. I didn't kill it though just messed around with it poking at it with a stick like I was a little kid lol

just LOOK at the point on that ************* tail. FORGET that ****. I would kill it and burry it for good. I'm not interested in getting a shot from some scorpion.

Atleast its not an Emperor scorpion. Look at this SOB, looks like it's ready for full on combat in IRAQ!

^that thing is so gross.

yea i killed it, this was the second one i found in my garage, the first one was a little bit smaller.


BUT the worst ever was a few months ago, I woke up to take a **** and there was a little baby scorpion by my toilet.

I usually don't kill things but we have two little dogs that wouldn't do well with a scorpion sting.

Yeah baby scorpions from what I had heard don't know how to control the amount of poison in their sting and can do more damage than a fully grown one. I remember playing with them during battle training in the Air Force.. haha in our little dfp's the scorpions would come out from the sand bags as we were leaning on them. they aren't too bad wouldn't mind one as a pet.
