Scorpion #4 of 2009

Sadly, no photo. It was spotted in the WC on—Wednesday? Tuesday?—night and as soon as I'd scooped it up, Hugh whisked it outside to Freedom! and Life! It was rather grand in appearance, though I don't think it was really much bigger than most; but it kept displaying itself, throwing its pedipalps forward and out and flattening its tail behind it, for a wonderfully dramatic effect.
