Some of y’all are overly afraid of scorpions and I just want you to know that some of them can swim and dive under water.
So the one in the old fable was even more of a dick than we’d been led to believe. Got it.
Well, the frog would die from the sting, the scorpion would die from drowning if it’s not the kind that can swim.
Yes, but that is less fun for my dad-joke purposes.
One time I woke up in the middle of the night to pee, and I swear I saw a scorpion in the bathroom. Freaked out like the 8 year old I was, woke my parents up. They turned on the light to the bathroom and the dog had pooped on the floor.
My mom lived in Greece long before I was born. Her residence had an outdoor bathroom system. Apparently, when my mom was pregnant with my eldest sister, she once had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. She got up to go out, reached for the doorknob, then had a burst of intuition. She got a light source to find her way out, only to find a giant scorpion standing right on the doorknob where her hand would have landed.
They may even adorably hide in the leaves of the skimmer to give you surprise tickles.
Is this a common thing? The one I found one time in my pool was dead, so I couldn’t ask him what he was doing there.
It depends on the species mostly
