The local "wildlife"

By wildlife I don 't mean deer, coons and such, I mean bugs.

Wonderful place this is, warm ( I should say hot ), semidesertic and where our lovely vegetation usually is thorny, the only thing I hate is them more than four legged critters, those about 2 inch long red wasps, those big fat black bumble bees, them nasty fire ants, those ugly black widows and those sneaky poisonous scorpions. Hot climates got hot bugs.

Well, yesterday at night I killed my 4 th scorpion of the month inside the house. Went to bed at about 11 PM, thirst woke me up about an hour later so I went down the stairs to the kitchen for a glass of water and there was the danged critter about 2/3 down the staircase. Wasn 't very big ( about two inches including the tail ) but knowing what we have here that tiny one is big enough.

Not normal to kill 4 scorpions in a month, normally at the house we may find one or two a year so 4 in a month is something to worry about, I wish the water and sewer service could finish the works they are doing around my house cuz the only thing they are doing ( aside from making the street look like a war zone ) is to scare the local "wildlife" into my house.

Gotta call the exterminator just in case.
