I lived in abruzzo for a wee while once upon a time.

In early autumn those little b@5t@rds would make their way into the house to keep warm.

The Italians reckoned they stung but were harmless really.

I was effing terrified of them. :o

Thanks for that info I was struggling to find anything about it
It was certainly lively to say it's been in the garage since Christmas, there was no speedo in the scooter so must have crawled in before it left Italy

We have a type of scorpion in the uk. European yellow tailed scorpion.Found mainly down south. Sheerness and the isle of sheppey.
They uk ones do sting, equivalent to a bee sting.

I used a well directed shovel. Doesn't sound as poetic as "spear of osiris" but the little blighters never walked away.
