Same species as in the foto. Not too bad, kinda like a fire ant sting. The pain which isn't too bad goes away in 45 minutes. My lips tingled one time until the next day. A wasp sting is much worse. Some people have allergic reactions, tho. They do like hanging out in towels. Been stung 4 times so far. Same species as in the foto. Not too bad, kinda like a fire ant sting.

I got out of the shower one day and something told me to shake out my towel before I dried my face. As I shook the towel, I heard a 'thwap' on the cement floor. It was a scorpion. Now, I always check my shoes, towels, etc before I place them near my body. Another place they like to hang out is in the hammock creases. Fortunately, I've never been stung by a scorpion, but those who have, say that their tongues became numb. Have you heard that? Oh…my!
