Scorpion Hunting

Everybody needs one of these lights... Stacey and her neighbors have been "scorpion hunting" for a long time now. I never understood exactly what that meant until a few nights ago. We were at my mom's house swimming and someone came running in saying they found a scorpion. I went out to see it and I couldn't believe how it glowed under this UV Flashlight. My mom seems to find about four every time she searches for them which is kinda creepy...but all of the kids and even the adults now love to see if they can find them. One person shines the light and another one has a hammer ready for the kill. It's kinda funny to watch but gives me heebie geebies at the same time. (Just typing this is making me squirm.) Well we decided to borrow Stacey's flashlight and have been searching our own backyard for a couple of nights with no success (thankfully), so we decided to search my neighbors house that no longer live there and we scored! This is a picture of the little devil.

Tonight Jason went out and bought our own flashlight so we can now do our own "scorpion hunting". They sell them at Walgreen's for $15 if your looking for some cheap fun.

Now you can give mine back! My neighbors have been finding them like crazy, I need to check my house. You need to come with us around my neighborhood... someone ends up peeing themselves because of laughing so hard each time. Fun times!
