I've often seen scorpions here in my yard, the bark scorpion, Centruroides exilicauda, said to be the most toxic scorpion in the USA. The most common scorpion in Arizona, the stripe-tailed scorpion, Vaejovis spinigeris, we see these constantly, they only get 3 inches long, and, my favorite, rarely seen, but unmistakable, the giant hairy scorpion, Hadrurus arizonensis, also said to be the largest scorpion in North America - all the ones I've seen were a large 6 inches long, fortunately they are also one of the least dangerous and easily kept scorpions.
