Scorpions in Florida!!

I just about fainted! My son walked in the door from his hiking in the woods today...this is what he came home with....

Yes, it's a scorpion!! I wasn't even sure if I should put it on my blog. They give me the creepy crawlies!! But, I just had to inform you that scorpions DO exist in Florida!!
I don't ever think I will sleep with both eyes closed ever again!!!
