All those years in Texas and I never saw one.
Climate is too tough for them up here. I would have loved to grow up playing with them.
Can you make them fight? Put them in a glass or something?
On a hot summer day, find something like a sheet of plywood or tin that's been laying flat on the dirt for a long time. Flip it over. See scorpions. At least that works pretty well down here. Stand back and use a stick first, in case there's a rattler or copperhead under there.
As I recall, we did get them to fight. We also set up encounters with scorpions and other insects.
Well, my father went to put on his pants one time. Unfortunatly, there were two scorpions resting in the crotch area.
I'm assuming they stung him? Good god, man, that is horrible! And another reason why I picked people over animals - people don't hide in your pants and inflict incredible pain on your special parts.
You also need to go find the Youtube video of the giant centipedes that eat mice...
I've encountered some awesomely scary centipedes around here that were easily 8"+ in length.
