I had 2 in my house last year. You need to know where to look for them or you ll never find them. I had no idea scorpions even lived in Florida until I found the first one last January.
They aren t common. You are less likely to see one in nature than you are an alligator or black widow spider.. and I only saw one alligator in the wild in my five years of being there.And I used to clear out storage spaces which are a great place for creepy crawlies.
I ve never encountered a scorpion in Orlando.If they re there, they re probably not very active in January.
Very rare. I have lived here for 18 years and have only found 2.
