Another Beastie

Last night I went through the house clicking and turning off lights before going to bed. As I walked down the steps into the living room I noticed this scorpion waiting for me at the very bottom. It was on the alert with the claws and stinger in the up and ready position. I made an abrupt one eighty (not like it's going to chase me down and stab me or anything) and grabbed a jar from the kitchen shelf. I walked back to the living room and scooped it up. This morning I photographed it on some dry leaves before I put it back out into the forest. God's love and blessings to you all, chris
