“’Surgery’ on a
Southern Devil Scorpion”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
I accidently found
this scorpion in my house under a stool while I was getting things together to photograph a
caterpillar. The scorpion’s tail was totally encased in spider web. It would
not be able to use its tail, so I performed “surgery” on the scorpion.
With a pair of
tweezers, I carefully pulled the spider web off piece by piece. The scorpion
then became my new subject to photograph.
I took it outside and
noticed it still had some silk on its tail. After his photo shoot, he was freed
in my backyard.
