It finally happened. We finally found a scorpion in our yard. Well, actually, in our swimming pool. Apparently it had fallen into our pool and drowned. I found it stuck in the bottom of the pool vacuum. So let me see. About a year ago I was bit by a Brown Recluse. About half a year ago we found a rattle snake in our neighbor's driveway. And now we find the scorpion. I guess the other dangerous Arizona creatures we have left to find are Tarantulas, Black Widows, and Gila Monsters. If we stick to our schedule we should run into something else in another 6 months or so.

I took a few pictures of the guy I pulled out of my pool. You can see a couple of them here.

The coin helps to show how big this scorpion was. It looked to me to be about 4 inches long.

From the front you can see the two little eyes and the pincer like mouth. This isn't something I'd want to play with if it was alive.
