[quote:Anonymous Coward 913463:MV8xMDg5MjgzXzE3MzYzNDMyX0NENzVGMUM5] Scorp trivia part III Death Stalker Scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus The Death Stalker Scorpion may be small, but it is the most toxic scorpion on earth. In general, scorpions with slim and narrow pincers are equipped with more toxic venom. Powerful venom compensates for the scorpion’s weaker pincers and lack of brawny strength. This scorpion’s sting delivers extremely toxic venom that can cause extreme pain, convulsions, paralysis, and even death by heart or respiratory failure. The Death Stalker Scorpion is found in North Africa and the Middle East. [/quote]
Original Message
I've been seeing a lot of bugs lately. I had seen a cricket and a larger beetle in my home this evening, and started thinking about their scorpion predators. Sure enough, I just saw a scorpion crawling across the floor. I often see scorpions after thinking about them (strange?). Out of instinct, I killed it, with the book I am reading.
Anyway, does anybody think that scorpion-killing is wrong? Based on my own observation, I'm pretty sure they are intelligent and sentient to a certain extent. But, they are creepy as fuck!
Am I defending my home? Or, am I just a bigot to the Scorpio religion?
