A taxonomic exercise

Hello all,

Dave...did you move this thread to the scorpion forum or did my memory fog out since August?

Chad,

It has always been here. I think you spend too much time staring through your scope -- it is messing with your brain.

Cheers,
Dave

Excellently detailed pics, thanks for the treat SHDave! If opportunity arises again I personally would like to see you expand further on this with more pics.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the pics. Do you think you could post one of the whole scorp? I have a couple of maturing C. gracilis right now (4th instar), and I just wanted to see for comparison's sake. Do you have any already online?

Chris,

It just so happens that today I picked up a roll of film that has some pics of the very beast in question.

Cheers,
Dave

Nice to see he`s doing good!

It might be just the picture but it seems much darker than mine.

Mat,

Could be the picture. I took it outside for the photo so the light reading may have overlapped slightly onto the bark. A bit underexposed, perhaps? On the other hand, it is pretty dark -- quite black actualy.

Cheers,
Dave
