"Some of you may not believe what I’m about to tell you. When I was in Colorado panning for gold I would get up at 6 am and start the fire. Around 10 pm that night I looked down and saw this strange looking insect crawl out from that blazing fire that had been burning for 16 hours straight! It looks like a cross between a scorpion and a tarantula. If I hadn’t see it with my own eyes I never would believe it. This strange insect is a vinagaroon. True story."
