was cleaning out the shed in the back. when i took out some rims i'm holding for a friend, there was scorpions sleeping under them. i saw the old shells they shedded. i caught 2 the first time, one smal one big, then another got away as i was cleaning up more. then caught another one when i was putting stuff back in the shed.

i never seen a scorpion in person before till today. i always thought we never had em here but i heard there was. i had them in this plastic container i had for my fish. stupid thing is i was gonna keep them to show to friends. but when i got home, some one put the tweezers i used to picked them up in the container and 2 of the bigger ones clumbed out. only the lil one was still in side. i was so pissed and i asked everyone who did it but no one said they did it. damn i just gotta check my shoes now when i goto work. maybe i can get a pic up soon.

 

david you dork

 

i wanna see a pic

 

Seen some scorpions in the hills up in Koko Head. I'm surprised you caught them...I'd have freaked out like a little girl.

 

A scorpion greeted me and my family when we first move into our current house.

 

a few years back i used to catch em by the bunkers in kailua hills... my arowana and oscar love em! (lil tip- remove the stinger before feeding em!)

So if the Oscar swallowed the Scorpion with the stinger, would the scorpion poke the fish and the fish would die?

 

yeah. a pix would be coo.

i think when u put the scorpion inside the tank with the fish, i think it wouldnt sting the fish; but if ur a stantman and try to hold em then thats wut sup. lol

 

i would be runnning and screaming like a little girl...hahahhaha

 

not necessarily... but one of my arowanas died after eating a scorpion w/a stinger still in tact.... thats why i say remove em.

some pics of the last one i have. it got out too before i took the pic but i caught it cus it didnt go far.

 

I am curious, how potent are the scorpions here?

 

whoa thats fawkin nuts

 

im pretty sure there not that bad like other parts of the world. im guessing maybe like a bee or a wasp sting. they really small too so not too much of a threat. just pain.

 

feed them!! we caught one of them giant spiders in our produce department back when i was working at Times...we fed it these big juicy horse flies...pretty cool to watch them attack its prey....
