RE: Scorpion Investigations, How do They Live?
I'm still somewhat puzzled as to why hubby brought it home, was he specifically thinking it would be a good educational opportunity? XD
I think given all the other deadly things we have here maybe the scorpions couldn't compete (got eaten by the snakes or something?) XD
I don't think he would have specifically been thinking of the educational opportunity, but he does have this fascination with creatures, particularly unusual ones and probably wanted to share his experience. This was small enough of an encounter to bring back, we just get tales about the possums, wombat, the roo that ran into the side of his Ute and the panther that crossed the road (yes, panther, and there have apparently been other sightings in the area). He offered to bring a baby brown snake back next time, but I asked him to please not!! 😨
Wouldn't surprise me if they were snake food, for at least some snakes. Also wouldn't surprise me if the bigger spiders ate them too. Now, if it had been a spider, or any other big really, there is no way he'd have allowed it near him long enough for the journey home.
