Scorpions On Planes
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 10th, 2007
Two incidents in one week. Two scorpions on two separate planes. The news is coming in so rapidly this week, I shared this one directly with Chad Arment’s Strange Ark, a good site for you to know about anyway. Read more fully about the scorpions on the planes, here.

The sequel to “Snakes On Planes” maybe?
Believe it or not, there is actually an illicit trade in scorpions as pets. I am not suprised that from time to time, one might get loose from its hiding place and run amok. It is odd that both of the incidents mentioned happened within such a short time span, but that could just be coincidence. Or maybe these were two parts of one shipment by the same inept smugglers? Imagine all of the scorpions that are captured and smuggled in without anyone ever being none the wiser. They find all kinds of exotic animals hidden in the oddest places on planes.
Also, it is possible that these creatures could have hitched a ride. I just read an article recently about a pair of jeans shipped from China that had a scorpion lurking in them. It would help if I knew where these two flights originated from.
