Yes Brandon - those are the ones :) Lovely scorpions, I really enjoy observing them. If I'm right - there was only one female from the survivors, but hopefully she will live long and will give me something to be proud about.
We got ourselves a new pet, was against it (we have some potent enough scorpions that might end with quite a disastrous yields), but you can't resist that naughty beast. He got lost somehow so we took him with us. 1 year old male. Things that he likes: play and sleep. Very fascinating when he...
Beautiful picture Mark :) How did you get it sharp with that big focal length while holding in hands?
however I still believe that it's worth buying lenses instead of rings. D50 with Nikkor 60 mm macro:

Congrats Ed, hopefully you'll raise them all well and there will be 4 females and one Kazanova :D
As for sexing Confusus, the moult looks then more like female. So we have one vote as a male (Mange tak Rigelus ;)) and of for female (thanks Ed). What a confusion... I should check my records for...
Burn it :D
I think you could use some sticky things to catch them however those need maintaince as they produce "corpse bridges" over it so you'll have to do the "0182.Status Quo - Burning Bridges.mp3". It's one of the methods to treat pest species here in Lithuania but my guess is that all we...
Had some fun yesterday with new camera.
Centruroides Margaritatus
Mesobuthus Martinesii
Liocheles Australasiae
Vaejovis Confusus and a question: how to determine gender of this cutie? Because of some unpleasant experience I have only this one left but it would be nice to find a...
