An arrogant Arachnida in the living room

Scorpions are members of the subclass arachnida along with Daddy longlegs. They prey on insects which ordinarily live outdoors so why would a scorpion want to venture into a civilized living room? I give up - why?
The violated family can't answer that. They are weary of capturing and disposing of these critters and just might mount further interlopers for display. At least a mounted specimen would prove to the outside world that the insect did indeed come to visit. Well maybe some skeptics would think the family went on the unlikely adventure of stalking the desert to capture one just for show and tell.
Bringing one into the house to prove a point is quite farfetched. The female doesn't lay eggs. Eggs are incubated in the enlarged female, then up to 60 of the born young may cling for a week or more to the female's back before leaving to fend for themselves.
Although there are 25 species of scorpions found in the United States, their sting is not fatal to adult human beings. Now isn't that a comforting bit of precious information?
