The striped bark scorpion is the most common of the 18 species found in Texas. It's named for its appearance, which helps it blend with tree bark, a common hiding spot.
From Texas Public Radio:
Scorpions are on the move in Texas because of scorching weather.
The Texas climate is too hot and too dry right now for most of the 18 different kinds of scorpions in the state, according to Molly Keck of the Texas Agrilife Extension Service. That means they are heading indoors.
