beka vs. the ¨vinagrilla¨

it´s a good thing that i can´t post pictures on this blog...yet. anyways you probably would think that i photoshopped the image since this thing, otherwise known in spanish as a ¨vinagrilla¨, looks like something from an nightmare. so let me describe it: it´s a 5 inch scorpion with 2 large horns and atenae and i´m convinced that it roams around, lurking to find people like me who are deathly scared of eight-legged anythings.

anyways, this thing followed me into the my grandmother´s laundry room and literally cornered me as i was screaming for someone to come rescue me. (it wasn´t a good day for wearing shorts and flip-flops!) finally, my seemingly fearless aunt, being a vet and kind to even the smallest creatures, trapped it in a tupperware container...yeah, because the little guy was thrashing its stinger at me not because it wanted to sting me but rather because it was scared of me. right!

anyways, there´s a happy ending for this villain:
she and my mom drove in a car the next day for an hour and set it free in the country. talk about pro-life. i say, if it can kill you, you´re allowed to kill it.
