AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHH!
#@@%$%!!!#$$ Honking big scorpion that my stupid Chinese flip flop did NOT kill on the wall, and of course Merlyn spotted it on the wall first, and was fascinated. Apparently I dented it enough that reaching over behind the UPS with a flip flop and a fire extinguisher to smash it more into the carpet did the trick. I didn't take any chances -- paper towel plus dust rag to pick it up, and into a sealed sack before entering the trash. Not a black one, but dark, dusty tan scorpion that had a front body segment an inch long and half an inch wide.
Might never have slept here again....
I hope scorpion gut smell will scare away any other ones! It looked like an Arizona bark scorpion, but was probably a striped bark scorpion. And I hope it doesn't have family!
