Uh, hello. My iNaturalist app tells me that this might be a variety of bark scorpion that was crawling across my back porch. It was on its way to being a former bark scorpion; I’m pretty sure it was suffering from the effects of the spray the exterminator put down around the house last week (not around the coop, just the house). It did not have to suffer long. Out in the meadow, under a nice rock is a good place for scorpions. On my back porch is not.
