Oh my goodness!! I laughed so hard reading this, my kids stopped watching their video to laugh at me. I love God but I told him…scorpions aren’t fair!! We don’t stand a chance! We can’t see ‘em till they are too close, only the giant ones make any noise, and we can’t get rid of ‘em. What’s up wit h that?!?

Ooooh, yeah. I have an entire category for scorpions on my blog — we also live in the Austin area. I actually just saw one last night — DON’T THESE THINGS HIBERNATE?!

Anyway, I’m glad to have discovered your blog. I’ll be back.

We just moved from Texas (lived in Hill Country for awhile) to Arizona. I had a bagillion posts about the Texas creatures. We had a snake come in (just a grass one), a cat with babies, a opposum that wasn’t so friendly try to hide in our kitchen, I’ve been stung (as well as my kids) by those scorpions and oh so much more. Have you met the June Bugs that attach themselves to your hair next to your ear and bzzzzzzz the whole time. Or the love bugs that make your non black car look black after driving through them? Wait till it rains really good one year – your entire house and around your house will become infested with Frogs. Oh yes, frogs!!!! LOL Makes me miss Texas – it’s boring without all the creature adventures!!!

And that’s exactly why I don’t live in the South. Those bugs are on steroids.

Eeww! The closest we’ve come to that is a box-recluse furry thing in the bathroom when DD26 was about 5. That spider keeps getting bigger every time I tell the story, but even the DH had to take care of it with about 10 whacks of his favorite pair of preppy Sperry Topsiders back then!

We live in the outskirts of Austin (technically Dripping Springs) and had a very similar experience in December of 2008, when my son was just a few months old. One of our cats was batting at something and then jumped, hissed and ran away. We just looked at each other and then slowly looked back at what could have scared our cat away.

Man, that sucker was HUGE.. well.. no, not really, but it sure as heck looked like Godzilla to us! We had never seen a scorpion before, except under glass at the Natural History Museum!

My husbands reaction was about the same as yours.. and all I could do was clutch my son to my chest and pray to God that there weren’t more of them.

Well, there’s been two more since then.. but they don’t freak us out as bad. Sure, we trap them, take them outside and PULVARIZE them into dust, but we’re not as terrified as we were that first time.

Also, we had the exterminators come out at the crack of dawn the next day as well. LOL!

Oh hell no! I have had to get used to the Black Widows that like to come in my house to visit, I don’t know if I could deal with scorpions. YUCK!

So glad I can tell my 13 year old that he is not the only male afraid of creepy crawly creatures!
