Welcome to the Sunshine /Iguanas /Frogs /Crabs /BigSpiders /Scorpions /Snakes /TonsOfMosquitos State!

Not sure about how many scorpions you'll find in Melbourne but the chickens in Key West sort of keep them in control. Otherwise they'd be everywhere. I tried getting one of those little portable black lights and looking around outside at night. I was amazed how many of those suckers we have down here.

By the way, scorpions do that same "tons of babies on momma's back" trick. I had one of the window curtain just inches from my face when I turned around in my chair. I looked closer and it wasn't one at all...momma's back was full of baby scorpions.
