Slender Brown Scorpion (Centruroides gracilis) on the shower wall It took me a while to decide whether I should leave this fellow on the shower wall overnight, or move it outside. I figured it had just as much right to the room as I did. But on the other hand, if I didn't see it in the morning I might be concerned about its new whereabouts. So I gently took it outside.
