Hunting for Scorpions in Arizona

Homeowners pay exterminators to get rid of these creepy crawlers, but one researcher spends his own money to seek them out.

I live in Arizona and I catch them and keep them as pets

I love scorpions! When I go down to Florida I want to look for some because I have never seen one in the wild. I keep praying mantis as pets and I have a snake as well.

There are even scorpions in Italy. I was hiking on Mount Subasio in the Umbria region and at night I found them crawling around.

I would love to live in AZ. Free scorpions and tarantulas for my collection!

[miekelathrop]

I like them too. Though it is good to watch out for the Arizona bark scorpion

[bobwoods]

The volunteer saying he never saw a scorpion once when they just finished showing people yards and homes infested with them is funny. I`m staying put in Canada thank you very much.

that's good business, get paid hundreds of dollars to collect bark scorpions, then they can turn around and sell the scorpions to collectors for $10-$15 each.

I've been in Arizona for 18 years.

I've seen no scorpians. I've seen 2 rattlesnakes, and I've spent a lot of time out in the boonies.

Found six in my back yard last night. I just keep wondering about the scorpions I did NOT see.

I live in chandler/TEMPE area. Tons of scorpions all summer long.

[leevahal]

All i have to do is get a glue trap and put it in my laundryrooms bathroom

[brentondickson]

I kill them and freeze them in ice to make nice scorpion pops

[anthonyrodriguez]

I'm moving to Arizona, should I be worry about scorpions? Those Arizona have a big problem with scorpions and snake.

[Jay-R]

[emeraldwin]

[jag]

I was stung in Tucson AZ it came up my shower drain and went into a towel, my arm was completely numb for two days. I found out it was from the drain because I saw another crawl up two weeks later, so sprayed with repellent. OUCH!
