Check yours twice... I was just going out my business... grabbed the whole cover and was unraveling it and it was wrapped up at the very end of it.....

I don’t like scorpions.

Kill it with fire 🔥 I've been stung 3 times and that's 3 times too many

Been stung once, was enough! Very painful.

Ouch

Kill it!

Burn down the whole boat just to be safe

well looks like you have to get rid of boat and all
gladly take the boat and scorpion off your hands

My wife came home one day and stated that she was stung on the ankle by something in her car. looked and didnt see anything. Next day felt something on her leg and looked down and there was a scorpion crawling on her. She tried to stomp it but unfortunately it evaded her. That night she got the blacklight out and found it under her seat in a tidy little hiding spot. It's no longer.

Rising water moved her to higher ground. Appears to be gravid or full of young scorpions ! Definitely not a pleasant sting and they can sting you many times. A suggestion for you is to remove any wood piles, clutter of any kind and cut grass as low as possible around said boat . The striped scorpion can live in the wild over 4 years .

Opened the door at the ranch the other morning before it was light and one fell on my arm. Thankfully I shook it off before I realized what it was. I've only seen one other in the 8 years we've had it but man I hate them!

I worked in Afghanistan and Iraq for about four years altogether. I have seen cobras and camel spiders. We were cleaning up some pallets and boards behind our shop, and we came across a ‘Black Death’ scorpion. It was a full-grown one, and it was about 4 inches long, laying just like the one pictured.

I read about them. They are pretty mean creatures!

Found this picture on the internet. Same type scorpion. Not my photo. Mean little bugger!

If you see one, there is ALWAYS another.

I just bought a new house in La Grange, TX and moved earlier this summer. The house had been empty for 18months before we bought it. We closed on the house in April, moved in June... Since closing we have killed 47 scorpions inside the house. Not to mention the ones we have also killed outside. Still averaging 1 - 2 per week. My oldest son especially has gotten so used to them, he just kills them and throws them out. Never even says a word about it.

So far, no stings, though there have been 4 close calls.

I have sprayed 4 times, had it professionally sprayed once.

God help us.

Killed two this week in the house, we live on the lake and they do to. I spray every 6 months but we still get them some times...

Vile little creatures

What would you equate it to ? Like wasp or a bee?

bait,..

I had one in my shoe. It stung me on the big toe and then stung me on the pinky toe before I could untie the shoe and kick it off. Pain is 3× red wasp. Sting feels like an electric shock crossed with someone putting out a cigarette on you. Intense pain instantly lasting 1.5 hours then slowly subsiding next 4 hours
