Well, ok, it didn't really attack me, but on Friday night while I was home all alone I almost stepped on a baby scorpion that looked pretty similar to this one. It was in my livingroom AND I was barefoot. I just happened to catch a glimpse of it with my eye and almost had a heart attack when I looked closer and realized what it was. I quickly got a shoe and smashed the little beast and flushed it down the toliet. Stanford was pretty dissappointed I didn't get a picture of it but I was just happy I killed it before it got away! I was super paranoid to sleep that night thinking there were more of these little creatures around my house just waiting to come out and attack me (I'm being a bit dramatic, but I think you would be too if you had seen one of these). The next day Pest Control calmed me down and said not to worry unless I see another one. You can bet I've been checking behind pillows everytime I sit on the sofa or grab something from a bookshelf or looked at every spot on the floor.
Luckily ... there have been no more sightings and Stanford is now home to take a picture if the next one pops up.
Yuck! I would totally freak out if I saw one of those in my house! That reminds me... I need to call a pest control company. :)
ReplyDeleteI would have freaked!!! And would have been paranoid after that too. Last night a black beetle crawled on me while I was on the couch reading. I have been having nightmares of blackwidow spidars because i have found 3 outside lately. I totally thought it was a black widow and threw my book and jumped up. Now I can't sit in that spot too easily. Ugg to bugs!!!!!!! I am glad you did not step on this scorpion!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I totally found a black widow while I was cleaning up our back porch yestuerday. It was on the wall and I was so grossed out by it. I HATE spiders, esp. black widows. Ugg to bugs is right!!!
ReplyDeletethat's the scariest freaking thing i've ever heard!

yikes!!! Spiders freak me out... I can't imagine a scorpion!!!! I am proud of you for being to kill the little bugger.
ReplyDeleteEEEK! That is scary. I would have been completely freaked out. Especially if I was home alone. Blah. We have had black widows in our house and (get this) in my CAR! Those are scary buggers too. Hope you don't find any more!
ReplyDeleteAHHH!! I seriously have a deep fear of scoropions (even more than tarantulas)... I would be freaking out if I were you! And no Stanford home to give you a big hug and kiss?! How did you manage??
ReplyDeleteohhh my gosh i would have flipped! We dont do well with any types of creatures at our apartment... !! I get chills just thinking about it. Haha Scorpions remind me of hook when that one guy gets put in the box then they throw scorpions on him. I always freaked out at that part.
ReplyDeleteAh! We just found one in our garage yesterday! I would have freaked if it was in our house!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, I would've had a heart attack!! I so scared of scorpions! I had little bugs - cockroaches, spiders, scorpions...yuck!! I'm glad you survived! I would have been no help if I had been there with you...lol!
