When scorpions attack

Tonight, on my back deck, I caught what appears to be a live scorpion. It was crawling across the deck and, while various bug-life is not an uncommon sight around here, this caught my attention immediately. The dark body was contrasted against the white painted floorboards. I scooped it up in a nearby empty wineglass (another common sight around here) and then dumped it into a ceramic bowl for a brief photosession. Pics follow. I plan to get in touch with the local university's biology department tomorrow and confirm my find.
