Oh my gosh….these scorpions are huge! This Giant Desert Hairy was over 3 inches long and not too happy that I flooded his home while watering my boulders (don’t ask :-). As big as they are, though, their sting is about the same as that of a honey bee. It’s the tiny Bark Scorpions that you need to stay clear of. So I ran to get my camera and was able to get two shots before he retreated into another burrow. I just read that they can grow to be 6 inches and are known to eat lizards and snakes. Holy cow! Talk about a photo op!
