great shot but tell us how you came upon these two without getting stung! #18835Robert Jensen May 26, 2019
Thank you all for your comments.Sharon ... I find scorpions by going out to the desert and searching for them with a portable blacklight. Desert Hairy scorpions will "light up" from 50 feet away on a moonless night. I normally handle the scorpions with special tweezers that are about a foot long.
