Tiny Scorpion

I spent most of Saturday—the most beautiful, perfect day—outside lying on the chaise, reading and napping. At one point my pillow fell to the ground and when I picked it up, there was this tiny scorpion. Hugh's finger there for scale; flower there to protect Hugh's finger.


It had a curious red thing attached to its back leg. I thought I'd uploaded a close-up of it....oh well, later.
