Scorpion

Description:

An uninvited guest at our friends house the other night. I have been living in Turkey for 6 years now and this is the first one I have seen. He was about 7cm long when his tail was out flat, before he reared it up in defence at being captured. He took a little bit of capturing as we were all wearing flip flops and were not sure how quick he could move. He was removed to an area of waste ground several metres from the house.
