Click here to read about an exciting new invention: the scorpion shield, which keeps the potentially dangerous arachnid from climbing into your child's crib and stinging him to death!
In fact, out here in the desert, there's nothing at all weird about this, but I imagine folks in the rest of the country shuddering and shaking their heads.
"At night [the inventors] used to prowl the rooms in their North Side home with a black light and tongs, catching scorpions."
Yes, many scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light! Isn't that interesting? Just another one of nature's miracles.
Florescent scorpion
But don't breathe easy just yet: "...although smooth glass is a good shield, it won't keep out every scorpion. They also walk across ceilings and sometimes drop onto furniture." Are you ready to move out to the desert?

I'm fortunate to not have to deal with them here, though I'm sure you see many of them where you are.
in all honesty, other than the ones in the desert museum, i've never seen one. we live smack in the middle of the city, with a fence around the backyard, though. plus, there's the matter of two cats. cats are not afraid of scorpions and tend to be very good at killing them.
THis is just what is needed! The scorpions are out in full force this month!
