Critters great and small

So I was painting some benches in the back yard and found a good specimen of scorpion under one of the legs.  It was daytime and it was very sluggish, so I was able to scoop it into a small jar.  My thought was to try to photograph it.  Today I transferred it using a monofilament loop through a soda straw into a plastic soda cup.  Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was not alone.  Don't know where the little guy had been hiding, perhaps clinging to the large one (mother?  father?), but he was pretty active, running around the inside of the cup and hiding underneath the large one.  I took some shots of which this is about as good as any, then released the two back into the yard into a leafy area where they should feel at home.  Sure, I may get stung by one of them some time in the future, but hopefully not.  Notice that the little one does not have a tail yet, but his pincers are well developed.
