I didn't know until day before yesterday what a Bark Scorpion is. I mean we occasionally have scorpions...they're here (San Diego County), Arizona, Baja. No big deal...little scorpion. Yes, BIG DEAL. They are the most venomous scorpion in the U.S. I had not had one in the house here since 30 years ago, the first year we lived here and my folks were visiting and I found one in the kitchen. My folks had just come back from the Colorado River and I thought it had somehow come with them. We used to see them all over down at the River, in the kayaks, etc. Didn't really think much about it. Saw them on the beach in Baja when we were down snorkeling. The guys told us they were no problem...Ha! I know now that they lied....lol..
I've since asked a couple of friends who've also lived here a long time and sure, they've gotten a few in the house, but didn't think much about it. They also didn't know what Bark Scorpions are. Ignorance is bliss...truly. I was better off thinking they were just 'little scorpions, no big deal'...lol..
