We are very lucky at Spring Farm to have so much wildlife surrounding us in addition to our adorable alpacas. Most of the time you see the larger creatures such as deer, squirrels, birds etc. but just occasionally you look down at your feet and are in for a big surprise. The picture is of a Devil’s Coach Horse Beetle. As you can see it raises up its tail as if it were a scorpion and that plus its large pincers makes it a truly terrifying beast – if you are an ant! Come to Spring Farm for our alpaca safari tours and you never know what you might bump into!!

British scorpion!
