So here's what came to visit last night! This scorpion came scuttling up to the screen door, right under the patio light. The shot of the nickel came this morning after he was long gone.
I was admittedly a little twitchy last night on the patio after dark, remembering the huge beetle that showed up the night before (see "Monster Attack"). I've since found some images online to suggest it was a Paloverde Root Borer, one of the largest beetles in North America. Adults can be 6-8 inches long, and may come out in the summer time, especially in the early evening when attracted by outside lighting.
