A (not so) friendly neighbor at the door!
The presence of *Scorpions* is one of the reasons why one should never walk around barefoot or with open shoes and never without light at night.
These small, but fierce creatures, can defend themselves by administering a painful – and in some cases deadly – sting. Any reaction usually lasts up to 10 days. For most scorpions these are usually minor and go away without complications. Severe stings can cause more pain, fever, and muscle aches for a few days.
The genus Parabuthus contains some deadly scorpions. There are a few species that are potentially life threatening and all the others will ruin your week.
If a Scorpion has a thin tail compared to its pincers then it is usually fairly harmless. If it has a thick tail and small pictures (like Patabuthus) then it is usually highly venomous.
So the one in this picture, which sat in front of my room, looks more fierce then it is 😊
