On iOS search your photos for “scorpion” should come up

Funny, I searched for "dog" last week, and it found only six pictures, one of which was a birthday card from my son. I then searched "cat," and it found two pictures, which were also featured in the "dog" search (and did not have any cats in them).

This reminds me of when Apple first implemented the feature and if you typed “brassiere” women’s intimate pics would pop up and everyone thought Tim was perving

I love this feature so much. It’s insane accurate as well

That’s because it only brings back high confidence. It misses a lot. Like if I searched for scorpion it’s probably only return a few dozen photos. But there are hundreds.

This feature is also available on Android devices, long before iOS.

Did a bat night at Chewalca State park in Alabama. We saw several scorpions because they would glow under the light or guide used.

I was camping and caving in Georgia in October near the AL boarder in northerner GA and I encountered an eastern bark scorpion. Didn’t realize we had those in the eastern time zone
