RE: Scorpion Investigations, How do They Live?
Wow, I'm impressed @minismallholding that you can find anything attractive about scorpions. The only place we ever lived, where a "close encounter" with these was even a remote possibility, was the Sonora Desert of southern Arizona. And they were all around us. I remember reading about people using certain types of lights to find them at night ...
While there, I attended a presentation where we were told three-fourths of everything "out there" was poisonous to one degree or another. Seemed to be what was required for survival in that god-forsaken country. Sounds like parts of Australia are similar perhaps.
Thankfully, we only lived there for less than 3 years. Not for us ... We move north and found living ~ 100 miles from Canada much nicer than living ~ 100 miles from Mexico ... 😊 Not so coincidentally, we learned there that no known poisonous creatures of any kind existed, not even rattlesnakes, except for a very rare spider of some sort ... Much better! 👌
Haha! Yes, heat seems to evolve deadliness! I'm from England, originally, where very little in the animal kingdom is venomous. South Australia isn't too bad. We have less deadly creatures than some of the other states. I see beauty in most things, but some need a lot more respect. This little guy is so small (we have spiders WAY bigger), I think that's what makes it cute. It's like those tiny little spiders who try and make themselves look big and fierce when you go near them, but they just look cute! 🤣
