I have been trying to find out more information on Fred. Our Spanish teacher came over yesterday afternoon and we showed it to her. She told us it is called an Alacran (accent on the last a) and very venomous. If it had stung anyone we would have had to make a visit to the hospital.
So this morning I looked it up on line and got this info from Wikipedia "It should be noted that many Mexican laypeople uses the word "alacrán" to describe the smaller, most venomous species of scorpions, which are very common in Mexico, while the word "escorpión" is used to describe the larger, darker and less venomous species."
Fred has given me a new look at living here. Now I turn lights on at night. Shake my shoes out before I put my feet in them, and think twice about letting my kids play out in the yard. One last thing I must say is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Oh my gosh Julie! Is Fred your family pet? I would love to hear the rest of this story. How did you get Fred? That would really freak me out too!
So...uh...yeah...I'm not so scared about the HUGE spiders that we have here, at least ours are not poisonous. Good luck with that. ;-]
