Hi there! I know you guys probably get tired of random people jumping in your forum for scorpion IDs, but after searching the web for hours on end trying to identify this guy I'm stumped. I live in the foothills of California, Sonora to be exact (tuolumne county). I find these guys in my home, in the leaves outside my home, and under my door mat (they love the door mat).
Here's a picture of one I found the day before yesterday:
The most I've been able to find is a few sites saying "this is a small brown scorpion." Oh really? I never would have guessed! I need to know more about their living habits, what they're trying to find to eat in my home, and most importantly: how venomous is their sting. I have two children in my home under the age of 3.
Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it!
