Scorpions

Do they live in Virginia? Does anyone know? I just saw something that looked like a baby ant with claws in my house and am once again picturing all the ways Baby and I can die. I'd leave the house, but the kid's sleeping (for once), and he needs it badly, so I hate to wake him and put him in his wretched carseat. I am sitting very still, my eyes scanning the sofa and living room, and I am ready to throw the laptop down, jump up, thus waking Baby who is asleep on my lap at the first sign of something scary.
