One day i might get stinged by another one.
This one was smaller, but there must be a mother and a father. Its the middle of the winter, whats going on???
It came inside to get warm,duh.
Uh Georgia has scorpions.You just saw one.

In the United States, scorpions are most common in southern Arizona and in a swath extending through central Texas and central Oklahoma. The common striped scorpion Centruroides vittatus reaches from northwest Mexico to southern Colorado, Kansas, southern Missouri and Mississippi. Species of the genus Vaejovis are found from
Florida north to Maryland, the Carolinas, and Tennessee and as far west as Oregon and California. Paruroctonus boreus is found through the Northwest US and into Canada. Scorpions can be found in 31 different states in the US, including Hawai'i (Isometrus maculatus, introduced).
