When my oldest son was still in the crawling stage, we noticed he was playing with something on the kitchen floor. We opened his hand and found a scorpion in his hand. He didn't get stung and we very relieved that he didn't get stung.

We have some scorpions in our area, but not like I think you do in your area.

Here is a little better picture. I am also intrigued by the lining of the culm inside the hole...



BTW... we have lots of scorpions, tarantulas, and other "neat bugs".

Wondering what those eat? I imagine they are beneficial. Anyway, it's Earth Day. Celebrate scorpions and all other life on Earth that don't mess up the planet.

Thuja,

Next week I get started with the construction of my first pond... hopefully, I can get more animals, insects, birds, and other "critters". The pond is supposed to be 100' x 100'. I want to see lots of wildlife at the farm... they all enjoy boo too.

Wow, that's one Texas-sized pond. I'm sure you'll have even more great critters. I'll get my tent packed and ready to go.

I started my 5-year plan about 8 years ago. Still have about half the farm to set up. All Bamboo nuts are welcome at the Boonut Farm. Bring a shovel...

Your pond is going to be larger than my entire lot.

Scorpions good they keep the roaches under control. That is unless they make a bed in your shoe and you forget to shake them out. Do not let anyone tell you that a scorpion sting is like a bee sting. Take it from me they hurt a whole lot more. Thankfully it does not last long.

Come to think of it... I have never seen a roach at the farm.
