Scorpions in Sydney

Hello Everyone,

My wife and I live in the North West of Sydney, the Hills District. We went into our bathroom tonight and we saw a little scorpion in the floor. We caught it and I took a few photos of it.

I have never heard of scorpions in Sydney before. Has anybody else come accross them, are they common? Thankfully I have read that in Australia the sting of a scorpion isn't deadly, unlike the bevy of other lovely "deadliest" creatures we have here. I am really concerned about finding this scorpion because we have a little 5 month old son who will be starting to crawl around the house in the next little while.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks
Paul
