Scorpions

A few days back I wrote about the rattlesnake encounter and the threat of scorpions. Well the last two nights we grabbed our black lights and went out searching for scorpions. They can only be seen when a black light is shown on them. So we search the area before letting Lola out at night.

Wow when that light hits them we really do glow. The first night we found around 25 or so on rocks of the more heavily rocked area's. The second night Mark went out alone and found another 20 or so more. One scorpion, he said, had to be at least 3.5 inches long. Sadly he didn't have his camera with him. But here a couple pictures he took from our first hunt......
