It just never ends for United-
WTKR: HOUSTON – A United flight was delayed for hours Thursday after reports of a scorpion crawling from a passenger’s clothes – the beleaguered airline’s second scorpion-related incident in less than a month.
According to the site FlightAware, United Flight 1035 from Houston to Quito [Ecuador] was delayed for over three hours at George Bush Intercontinental Airport as customers where ushered onto a different plane before finally taking off.
Stories like this really bug me.
The scorpion was probably looking forward to bagging his limit of lice and other vermin left by the flying public.
Maybe the airlines should start checking the rosters of previous and current passengers on the Scorpion Express for repeat passengers where scorpions manifest, or perhaps cabin crew.
They should start giving ‘frequent survivor’ points for flying with them.
God knows what disruption of the schedules would have resulted from a wasp making it onboard. That’s a fuckin’ scorpion with wings!
Sweet Jeebus, we are now confirmed as a nation of snowflakes and pantywaists.
I used to Have a Permit. to collect Plants in Mexico. On one trip along the Stunning Careyes coast, I’d collected Tillandsis (air plants) and I somehow ended up collecting Deadly Miniature Black Scorpions.
While cleaning my plants pre-flight style in my hotel bath tub ,(sorry Ladies) 7 or 8 inch and a half long full grown killer Scorpions. I’d carried them in my pack for 3 days !
The smaller the scorpion, the more deadly.
We gotz to get the muthafuckin’ scorpions off the muthafuckin’ plane!!!
Cue up “Scorpion Plane Flight 666” for the fall
theaters.

Yea the smaller the scarier, and you can’t find them, these were living all in a leafless small tree inside of tiny plants and I still couldn’t find a single one. When you do find them, they look fake and plastic like…Then they Haul Ass!
They can be damn hard to see in natural light in the places they like to hide.
Accidentally found they glow quite well with a black light flashlight. They really look fake when they look like a glow-in-the-dark painted toy.
I’ll never camp in East Texas without a B.L. flashlight handy again.
Quite a few things light up in nature with it. It can be entertaining for both kids and adults.
