Scorpion hunting

Sam has run into quite a few people while selling that tell him about scorpion hunting that they like to go do for fun. At first I didn't know whether he was kidding or not but apparently it's a real thing! He's been talking about it for a few weeks so finally on one of our date nights with a couple friends (who had conveniently grabbed black light flashlights earlier that day), we decided to drive around the corner to a nearby canal and try it out. They were sort of few and far between but the scorpions would glow neon green in the black light so you really couldn't miss them when you finally came across one. We were out there for little over an hour and caught three. We just used some tongs to snatch em up and put  em in a jar. It was pretty exciting! Especially because scorpion stings are kinda dangerous so made it a little more thrilling when they scurried around and stuff, haha.. We will probably go again soon but next time I'm wearing tennis shoes for sure! I hated the idea of other bugs running across my feet (in flip flops) in the dark while we were searching! Bleh!
