If there is any stuff laying around on the ground especially wood or rocks I turn over everything I can and sometimes I find scorpions. I would think in Florida with it's climate and humidity you could find them (scorpions) anywhere there is stuff lying around.
happy hunting.
Darrell.

Since you live in Israel, I must tell you, that 40KM south of Beersheba, you will find numerous specimens of Androctonus bicolor.

The location for collecting this species is given in the book: Scorpions of Medical Importance" (Keegan 1980). I wish I could go "hunting" with you.

Even though it would be quite hot for me, that area would be great fun to hunt in, 10 or 20 people with blacklights could really clean up.
