Cute, but I've been stung before, so I do feel compelled to warn you that you're in for a world of hurt if that thing jabs you. Sadly, one was hiding in my bed one night and thought I was trying to mess with him. Very, very painful.

My experience as an 8yr old kid was pretty mild. It was a bark scorpion, but a more mature one so that may have had something to do with it. It was tender for some days and hurt when it got me, but all in all wasn’t too bad.
