We are in total shock tonight! All the years DH went to college in Tucson he never once saw a scorpion other than the ones they have at the Saguaro National Monument exhibit. Tonight, Muncie, bless his heart, was patrolling our back yard as he and Phoebe do every night, when we saw him doing something we haven't seen before. He was actually on his hind legs, standing upright and looking pretty agitated at our back yard wall. After DH yelled at Muncie to leave the wall alone, DW grabbed a flashlight to check out what Muncie was so focused on.
Low & behold, a scorpion was hanging around.
DH made the dogs go inside and grabbed the camera. As you can see we had a nice sized visitor. We will be more aware of our surroundings in the weeks to come. Mosquitos would feel nice tonight. "NOT"!!
P.S. The scorpion is no longer amongst the living. DH made DW take off one of her thongs and smacked the scorpion into oblivion!
Enjoy!!

I really hate the bugs that Arizona has. They don't even resemble bugs...I just knew that they were there waiting to make an appearance...be careful..DM

ARE YOU SERIOUS? A SCORPION? OK, THAT'S IT.. GET BACK HOME! ewwwwww to say the least. That just looks incredibly horrible and nightmarish. SO glad that Muncie did not tangle with that thing.
You killed it with a Thong??? Was it a pink thong?
