Teacher finds scorpion with breakfast in McDonald's bag

A poorly-informed article wrote:

It wasn't just any scorpion -- it was a baby scorpion, which is even more venomous than it's adult counterpart.

At least they remembered to call it venomous and not poisonous.

I wish it was that easy for us to find scorpies. That's what I'd call a happymeal.

did anyone see what species that was?

I think I'm gonna have to pull a Mike on that one and reply with just:

It looked like a baby C. sculpturatus . . . so painful, yeah, but nothing to worry about at that size (unlike what the article would have the poor uninformed people of Arizona believe).

That bit about a baby being more venomous than an adult just made me feel embarased for these people lol

Anyone with any sort of sense would think "hmmmm baby scorps, not as bad as an adult cause theres less venom"

dafties lol

The article probably claimed that because rattlesnake babies (one of the few other dangerously venomous creatures in that part of the country) are just as potent as adults -- still, they're not MORE potent . . . Ugh.

and why does nobody who cares about scorpions ever find them! aint fair...

Agreed! I remember last eyar at some point i think it was a wee lassie in England found a buthid in her fruit bowl, her mum had bought a selection of fruit that day and there was a scorp in it WHY CANT THAT HAPPEN TO ME! lol

Someone did find some Mexican centruroides in some fruit shipments from MExico at his job.
