🎝Home in Pasadena
Home where grass is greener
Where honey bees, hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze
I'm gonna be a home-sweet-homer
There I'll settle down
Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town🎝

An Asian Forest Scorpion. Although it sort of resembles a friendly little crayfish in the engraving, they are actually large, fast, mostly black, and glossy. They react at the slightest provocation, though they won't kill you, usually. By Carl Wilhelm Hahn (d.1835).
