Unwelcome visitor
As I was about to turn the lamp out last night, I looked above the bed to see this.....
We've found them in the tub before, and a couple in the floor, but this was a first, seeing one on the ceiling. Might have proved uncomfortable had he dropped into the bed in the middle of the night!

Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide."

I'd be checking the house for cracks and calling the bug man monday!
I can't figure out how it got in. The house is rather tightly built. We've been overrun with ants this year, due to the dry weather. This makes about 6 scorpions we've found in the house since moving in 10 years ago.

I pay 17 bucks a month to be bug free.
I have always heard they preferred "new" wood.
Built 10-year's ago doesn't fit that line of thinking.
Just goes to show that I don't know stuff.
Never heard that about them liking "new" wood, Dennis. Could be something to it, I dunno. We live out in the sticks, and between bugs, rats, mice and assorted other critters, we've about seen it all.
Went out to the barn to get some hay for the goats, and spotted another unwelcome visitor. Head shot at 225 yards, while sitting on the tractor. I was well pleased. Not sure if his name was Slim Pickens, but it looks like he'd been living on slim pickings. Been a while since I saw one this scrappy.

Dang, not much meat on that one at all.
Almost not worth it to put him on the grill.
Butch, I just read an article about the side effects of the stuff used to fumigate houses.
Honestly the scorpions are less toxic.
It was interesting to see that none of the chemicals used are legal here.
No fumigation here.
Ah, I thought that was what the 17 bucks a month were for.
