locusts?
Cancel my trip to Egypt, problem solved.
I'm wondering when the supernatural stuff starts, like mass ghost sightings, fire with no heat, seeing other worlds. and there is likely 27 years to go!

Me too.
If you want to see scorpions come to my house! Not the deadly kind, but not nice to get stung. I have plenty around if anyone needs some!!

I have a house at the Colorado River, and have seen 4 scorpions in 20 years. I can tell you exactly where I was when I saw them, what they looked like, and how many gallons of pesticides I used after seeing each one.
Three times this summer I had them in the shower. Shampoo bottles make great weapons!!
We have little black scorpions here. They are about an inch long and seem to like the laundry room. I see one occasionally and squash it.
I id'd them once, no real threat but can give a painful sting.

I can do without seeing three more.

Grew up with them, they would gather on the carport along with the occasional sidewinder. We would sweep the scorpions into the street with a push broom.
The sidewinders would either meet mister shovel or remington, but they required much more careful handling.
To be honest I don't miss either one of them much.

I know of 4 houses with serious scorpion infestations. One I actually lived in. I cleaned up and cleared every place around the house where they might nest to no avail. My deduction is that all four of these houses had concrete slab floors. They are nesting under the floor. I killed 40 the first year in the house I inhabited.
