Scorpions on Planes, and Fruit As Well

Imagine getting home from the supermarket and digging in to your favorite fruit only to find a scorpion inside.

Izabela Murray says she bought a container of raspberries at the Stop & Shop in Torrington, and it wasn't until she sat down in front of the TV and started eating did she realize the dangerous creature was in there.

"I noticed toward the end when they were just a few left. There was something stuck in the corner and I looked in there and it looked like some kind of stem. And it was actually a scorpion," said Murray.

Murray was startled at first because having a poisonous spider as an after-dinner treat was not in her plans.
"You know, it took me a second to realize it, you know I kind of just didn't believe it," said Murray.

Murray says the container of raspberries were shipped from Chile and she quickly told Stop & Shop about her ghastly discovery.

"I just wanted them to look at the fruit more cause I don't want someone else to find something like that and get hurt. Examine the boxes a little more careful and stuff like that," said Murray.

Murray now plans to inspect all her fruit from now on and she wants everyone to do the same.

"I'd like everyone to be aware that strange creatures can come from tropical countries and end up in your home, so just be aware and be careful," said Murray.
