Some of y’all are overly afraid of scorpions and I just want you to know that some of them can swim and dive under water.

    They may even adorably hide in the leaves of the skimmer to give you surprise tickles.

      I remember once opening the door to a garage (with a gravel floor), hundreds of the little guys immediately dove in to the gravel. It was… fine. I was… fine.

      Conversely, I was at a snake petting zoo and they had an arachnid room. There was a big ol’ scorpion there covered with it’s babies taking a ride and it was honestly very cute! (This was thousands of miles from home, so that helped too.)

      In summary: Scorpions… sometimes?
