My 6 yr-old daughter asked me to get rid of a spider from her room. In I went with a "ho ho ho, of course dear" fatherly attitude to find a mature female Black Widow sat on the rocker switch of her bedside lamp. I calmly asked my little girl to go fetch her mother.

I know the feeling. Once last year my four year old refused to go to sleep, yelling about monsters in his room. Somewhat exasperated, I went into his room and turned on the light to find the biggest scorpion I'd ever seen crawling up his wall. I had a hell of a time arguing with him when he got convinced about monsters lurking for six months afterwards.

Wasn't sad to move out of that apartment.

Big scorpions are not dangerous. The most dangerous scorpions tend to be smaller ones. This I leaned from Sahara desert natives. I found a small one under a rock and played with it. Those people got crazy at me.
