UK Folks: Add Scorpions to Your Life List!

I just watched a neat video about scorpions in the UK, and I had to share it!

(If you watch it at 2x, it’s only 3 minutes long)

The YouTube comments are full of people who have spotted scorpions in the UK for decades — it’s amazing! :scorpion: :heart_eyes:

As a Canadian living at a similar latitude to London and the Isle of Sheppey (about 50º North), I found it very interesting!

If you weren’t aware of this, I hope it adds value for you! :blush:

Ongar underground station used to be famous for its scorpions. I don’t know whether they are still there.

I recently bought myself a UV torch (flashlight) so if there are any around me I hope to find them.

I was showing a scorpion at work today and thought I need to get a UV light for my kit. I don’t have native scorpions anywhere near me but I do research in an area that gets them
