Scorpions generally hide during the day and are active at night.
Indoors, they are most often found in crawl spaces and attics. During the summer they often enter houses. Although scorpions tend to be found on dry land, they require moisture and may be attracted to water sources. Adult striped scorpions are yellowish tan with two broad, darkened longitudinal bands on the top of the abdomen. They are up to 3.5 inches long.
