The Uninvited House Guest

With 46 different species of Scorpions in Peru, they may not be hard to come by, but they are hard to remove from your room.

We found this little critter crawling on the floor in our room, just moments before Ben almost stepped on it with his bare feet. We’re not exactly sure if it was poisonous or not, but we were definitely not willing to find out for the sake of science. Besides, Ben has already been stung once in Peru during his 9-month stint in Santa Teresa and would advise against it.

Let’s just hope releasing him alive doesn’t come back to bite (or sting) us in the ass!
