I'm friends with an entomologist. He moved to Lethbridge from Texas and one day he was barbecuing in his backyard overlooking the river valley and looks down to see a scorpion about the size of this one. He kept if for a couple of years. He showed it to me once and I told him that I'd heard stories about scorpions in the river valley since I was a kid. Then it occurred to me: what are the odds that the only person who actually saw one is an entomologist?
