I know this is way back, but.....you do remember we got a scorpion in a forest, right? A Deathstalker, which live in desert climates like the Sahara, Egypt and India. Not all scorpions live in the desert.

For example, as someone living in the eastern half of Texas, I have to think about the striped bark scorpion. Despite what some people apparently think, not all of Texas is desert. The desert is pretty much hours and hours away from me over in the western part of the state. The eastern half is more forest and fields. We have trees friggin' everywhere over here.

A little info about the striped bark scorpion:

"Striped bark scorpions can be found in rocky slopes, grasslands, juniper breaks, along with under boards and debris. They tend to find dead vegetation, fallen logs and human dwellings to live in also -- any place that is cool and moist."

Meanwhile, aside from things like amusement parks and Las Vegas, you only really see a sphinx statue in the desert.
