Water Scorpion

Ever seen a water scorpion? They're pretty common here. They're also really easy to miss since they blend in really well with their surroundings. It's been a while since I've seen one but I did see two recently. They were on this pavement which made them easy to spot.

They look really terrifying and can scare almost anyone. Fortunately they stay motionless and if caught they'll act like a twig or something. However if you don't handle them carefully they have a nasty sting. I know they're not as venomous as normal scorpions but I really don't want to see how bad those stings are. The internet says they're really painful so it's best to keep a safe distance.
