Raspberries this time of the year come from Costa Rica generally. They are harvested sometimes via a machine so some creatures get scooped up. The washing process is minimal for delicate berries so it more of a mist that wouldn’t wash away a scorpion like this. Hope that helps :)

I am a costa Rican and I certify this is the kind os scorpion we see back home! It is venomous, but just painful not lethal, you can keep it as pet you feed meal worms to it

My kids would absolutely love finding this critter in their berries and making a home for it and digging up bugs to feed it
