[JungleGuts]

well im going on a trip to Tulsa with my mom/dad/friend to visit my bro at college in Tulsa, OK. Are there any species of scorpions common around there....if so where would be good places to look??

I think you might be able to find some Centruroides vittatus there. Dont know if they are found in Oklahoma.


For places to look, I would go to a remote area and start flippin over rocks.

You should be able to find them now. I found them all throughout the summer last year and last month found quite a few with friends...haven't been yet this month but I figure it's just as good now as it was then. Look around lakes or somewhere else with permanent water. I've found more in places like that than in open fields (though they are found in fields). I imagine you could find them all through the year. You just might have to look a lot harder in the colder months.

Look for C vittatus on open ridges with alot of rock out croppings. You will find them under rocks
