Enters homes through gaps as thin as a credit card.
The Giant Desert Hairy Scorpion (5+ inches) is common near undeveloped land around Ventana Canyon Resort — impressive but less venomous. The Stripe-Tailed Scorpion inhabits rocky areas across the 85750 area.
Bark scorpions glow under UV blacklight, making nighttime inspections highly effective.
