Scorpion.

I am pretty positive that this a Florida Bark Scorpion. It lives in the yard at the Hostel where I work. You can flip over dead logs or move around dead leaves and find them. They are fairly common down here if you are looking for them. I have read that its sting is comparable to a wasp. Cropped and resized. It was also bumped up in size.

I live north of you in St Augustine. Every so often the Sand and Tree Scorpions get in the house and like to stay on the cool tile floors. BTW, these do feel just like bee/wasp stings and GREAT shot.
