In rural Thailand, people may give you funny looks if you kill any harmless insect. Many will ask a monk for permission, even a ceremony, before removing a beehive.
Yesterday we found a very large Asian Forest Scorpion (Heterometrus, แมงป่องช้าง) in our carport, just outside our kitchen door. We notice a scorpion perhaps once a year; but this one was by far the largest we’ve ever seen on this property. We trapped the scorpion into a glass jar, and left it overnight.
By coincidence(?), one of my wife’s best friends is dying in a Bangkok hospital. We also have an old dog who’d been very ill, still not fully recovered.
The next morning my wife took the jar into our orchard and freed the scorpion.
