Out here in So Cal when we had the nasty fires, it brought out the worst as far as creatures are concerned. we had Snakes, Coyotes and even Mountain lions were spotted in my area. we have at least several maulings a years by Mountains lions. this happens often when people get the urge to go for a run or hike in the valleys??
I lived in Arizona for a while and we had an episode with scorpions. we had an apartment in Tempe where the city workers were digging up the roads and they came in and decided to nest in our place. we were told to use a blacklight to find them and when we did, holy cow, there must have been close to 60 in our place alone. they were everywhere!!! in our bed, our closets, shoes, bathroom and kitchen. I don't know how we never got stung and I kept those things in a jar outside. there were even big scorpions with little babys on thier backs. I had an Indian buddy who came over for a couple of beers and when he saw the jar, he pulled the biggest one out and let him sting his hand about a half a dozen times. nothing happen to him at all, crazy bastard.
