Escorpius flavicaudis


Today was mostly spent preparing for a houseful of guests on Thursday. One of the rooms that we don't use very often was being cleaned, and you can tell that Jan is either much braver, or more blasé than usual, when she mentioned casually that she found a scorpion on the bedroom floor (it probably choked to death on the dust). Jan definitely prefers wild animals out on the savannah and most certainly not in the house. These little critters aren't very big and just give you a nasty, non life threatening bite, but nevertheless they are black and look quite menacing. My big brave girl then asked me to dispose of it! What happened to equality of the sexes?
