What the ???

Early this morning I watched a dust bunny roll across my floor. It presented itself about 5 feet in front of my chair. Curious, I got up to look at it. Upon further inspection, I realized it was a juvenile? scorpion, amber in color, almost opaque which helped it blend very well into my hardwood floors. I know this isn't Arizona, but it looked a lot like one of these....

I don't know where it came from but it sure gathered some dust and lint amd a few cat hairs along the way. It didn't appear to be feeling very well. Maybe it ate some of those termite carcasses the one-armed bug man chemically "treated" when I bought the place.
