Stowaway scorpion recovering after surviving washing machine ordeal

A family returned home from holiday in Mexico with an unusual souvenir - a "highly venomous" orange scorpion. As well as negotiating a 10-hour flight back to the UK, the 3in (8cm) arachnid somehow survived being put through the wash in Rochdale, Lancashire.

The family contacted the RSPCA after finding the scorpion "dying" following his washing machine ordeal. Happily, though, he is now recovering at a specialist rescue centre. RSPCA animal collection officer John Greaves said the family, who have not been named, "had no idea they had a little stowaway on board" when they packed their bags.



He said the creature must have scampered into their clothes before being placed in the suitcase. "They were really worried about him when they got in touch as the clothes he was inside had just been through the wash. They said he looked like he was dying. But he's obviously a tough little creature because he's survived his ordeal."

Experts believe the scorpion came from the Mexican desert. "If it's an adult, then it's likely to be highly venomous due to its size and the conditions it would hunt in out in the wild," Insp Greaves added. "It would require a very potent venom to immobilise its prey." An RSPCA spokeswoman said she did not know the scorpion's species - or whether he had been given a name.

The tent was erected by the Norwegian expedition led by Roald Amundsen on its arrival on 14 December 1911. It is currently buried beneath the snow and ice in the vicinity of the Pole. It has been designated a Historic Site or Monument (HSM 80), following a proposal by Norway to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting.[8] The precise location of the tent is unknown, but based on calculations of the rate of movement of the ice and the accumulation of snow, it is believed, as of 2010, to lie between 1.8 and 2.5 km (1.1 and 1.5 miles) from the Pole at a depth of 17 m (56 ft) below the present surface.먹튀검증커뮤니티

মেয়েদের পিক বিভিন্ন ধরনের হতে পারে। এটি হতে পারে একটি ব্যক্তিগত ছবি, একটি পেশাদার ছবি, বা একটি সামাজিক মিডিয়া ছবি। মেয়েরা বিভিন্ন কারণে পিক তোলে। কিছু মেয়ে তাদের সৌন্দর্য প্রদর্শন করার জন্য পিক তোলে, অন্যরা তাদের জীবনের বিশেষ মুহূর্তগুলিকে ক্যাপচার করার জন্য পিক তোলে, এবং আবার অন্যরা তাদের ব্যক্তিত্বকে প্রকাশ করার জন্য পিক তোলে।

মেয়েদের পিক সামাজিক মিডিয়াতে বিশেষভাবে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ। সামাজিক মিডিয়া একটি জায়গা যেখানে মানুষ তাদের জীবনের সাথে অন্যদের সংযুক্ত করে। মেয়েরা তাদের পিক ব্যবহার করে তাদের ব্যক্তিত্ব, বন্ধুবান্ধব এবং জীবনযাত্রা সম্পর্কে অন্যদের সাথে ভাগ করে নেয়।

মেয়েদের পিক কিছু ক্ষেত্রে নেতিবাচক প্রভাব ফেলতে পারে। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, মেয়েদের উপর চাপ থাকতে পারে যে তারা তাদের পিকগুলিকে একটি নির্দিষ্ট মানদণ্ড পূরণ করতে হবে। এটি মেয়েদের মধ্যে শরীরের চিত্র সমস্যা এবং নিম্ন আত্ম-মূল্যবোধের দিকে পরিচালিত করতে পারে।

যাইহোক, মেয়েদের পিকও কিছু ক্ষেত্রে ইতিবাচক প্রভাব ফেলতে পারে। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, মেয়েরা তাদের পিক ব্যবহার করে তাদের শক্তি এবং অহংকার প্রকাশ করতে পারে। এটি মেয়েদের মধ্যে আত্ম-সম্মান এবং আত্ম-অবস্থানকে বাড়িয়ে তুলতে পারে।

accounting assignments help can be quite daunting, especially when you're juggling multiple tasks. That's why I'm grateful for services that offer accounting assignment help. They not only provide expert guidance but also save precious time, allowing students to focus on understanding concepts rather than struggling with complex problems. I've personally used such services, and they've been a lifesaver during busy semesters. Highly recommend them to anyone needing a helping hand in accounting!

What Sets A Luxury Chauffeur Apart From Your Average Ride-Sharing Service said...

A 9, 12 and 16 seater minibus hire is ideal for smaller groups or families. It offers just enough space for everyone to travel together, without the hassle of arranging multiple vehicles. If your group is slightly larger, a 12-seater minibus hire might be a better fit. This option provides additional room for passengers and luggage, ensuring that no one feels cramped. Finally, for big groups, a 16-seater minibus hire is perfect. It can accommodate everyone comfortably, making it the go-to option for tours, sports events, or corporate outings.
If you're looking for Minibus hire Edinburg, there are plenty of companies that offer flexible rental services. From airport transfers to day tours, having a minibus at your disposal simplifies logistics and makes it easier to explore the city or nearby attractions like the Highlands.
