Going to Anza Borrego park - scorp finding tips?

[many many legs]

Hey there,
I'm going to Anza Borrego state park and I want to go out looking for scorps. I have a blacklight and have done this kind of thing before, but not at this location. Any tips on where I might find the giant hairy scorps or sand scorps unique to the area?

Found a list of the 4 species I could expect to find:

Smeringurus mesaensis - Desert Sand Scorpion
Paruroctonus borregoensis - Borrego Sand Scorpion
Hadrurus arizonensis - Arizona Giant Hairy Scorpion
Hadrurus anzaborrego -AnzaBorrego Giant Hairy Scorpion

thanks!

 

[Desert scorps]

Just remember not to collect as it’s illegal to collect at state / national parks!

as for locations or tips, maybe @Smokehound714 can chime in. he’s very knowledgeable.

I found Paravaejovis waeringi, serradigitus c.f. gertschi, and paruroctonus luetolus when I was there. Try flipping the higher elevation Rocky areas.

You can go outside the park boundaries and still find H. Anzaborrego- in fact that can be found throughout the entire coachella and imperial valleys, its just moreso abundant in anza borrego.

There are much better places to look for stuff IMO, anyway.

Purely sight seeing, bringing my telescope to planet gaze as well. If I did find one outside of the park, it'd be ok tho?
