If you are squeamish don’t look at this...

This is a 3 inch black scorpion.  I was picking up some clothes on the floor when I saw it.  At first I thought it was a twig...then it moved!  Of course I yelled for Alan to come and kill it. (while I stood on the bed).  We later learned it is rare to see them especially in our home.  They are not poisonous but they have a painful sting.
