Though they scare me out of my wits, I think we are more dangerous to it than they are to us. The poor dead creature. I hate to see dead ones. And sadistic beings playing around.
The title reads itself to me. It's not the human who says it. It's the scorpion that's talking.
That asks the human to sting it now, now that it has been killed and at his mercy.

Thank you! :)

Very nice.

Very well exposed as always. I will nit-pick and ask since you obviously know this well, and I will love to know.
Is this outside in an exhibition or indoors in your room/house/etc.? There are at least two light sources next to each other here. Did you light it up?
I like this aspect ratio too.

Seems like a scorpion alright. The title too seems to lead that. You have labeled it spider though. What is this?

CJ: that would be tasty! unless I'm dead already.

P: what about the fake ones?

I: nice take.

Death: sure

SS: before I answer your questions, why do my comments keep disappearing from your blog?

Comments are disappearing? Well, could it be because you post comments on the post previous to that? I have been wondering why you always post comments on the previous post and not on the current one. Say, for example, you scolded me for the Nescafe on the Jana Gana post and not in the Dance with the Chariots (chicken&cauliflower post)?!

Thanks for this! This is way more than what I was hoping for :D
I actually thought it's an exhibit in Alcatraz, perhaps. But, something like that wouldn't have two lights hanging on top of it, and you obviously pay a lot of attention to your shots.
