I live in Illinois. The odds of me getting stung by a scorpion are pretty much 0. I’m about to go to bed and now I have to check my blankets for scorpions.

I am also in TX like OP. Had the pleasure of almost getting stung by one yesterday. I thought you might like to hear the scrabbling pincers and legs, so… I made you this!
