I found this in a most disturbing room. Let's just say I didn't want to sit on it

As you can see it's only a baby and it's sting probably non lethal

Great shot Peter, I don't know the size of your 5 cent piece, but assuming that it is small, that scorpion is indeed tiny.

Thanks Ahmad. I'm not sure why it posted this size? Maybe because of the rotation.
See here for the fullsize. All my posted images are in the gallery.
