OMG! I just black lighted and cought over 20 scorps

[Synergy]

Here at my dads house and without going further then 100 yards from his house ive cought more then 20 scorps... all kinds of different ones too!! it was a scary and exciting experience... i first turned on the black light and saw 3 scorps surrounding me within 5 feet and had no idea they were there before even in the light...

[Synergy]

Well we are leaving for a few days but ive got a 40 gallon here im going to put them in and will be selling them all hopefully when I get back... Can someone post a pic of a bark scorpion please because im sure ive cought one and i hear they have nasty venom... and total count was 22... and there are scorpligs galore here too... ive got 3 scorplings look to be in there 2nd instar but not sure what they are... will post pics either today or when we get back in 5 days...

im fairly sure that a few of the scorps I cought are Vaejovis Spinigerus... just because the big fat tail... hows venom of these guys ?? looks like they'd be bad to me...

Alright im not posative but im fairly sure that mostly I have striped tails and desert hairys... being that there tails are striped is where i get that guess from hehe...

Doesn`t sound like a bad conclusion, V Spinigerus and H Arizonsensis are very common in your area. Lucky man..

 

[MEXICOYA415]

V. Spinigerus has venom comparable to H. arizonensis.

Synergy,

Congrats on the find. I had planned to hit Texas in August but had to move the trip to the spring but that will be my first true scorp hunt and I can't wait to hit the field and blacklight for Diplos for an entire 3-week period!

Two weekends ago, I went to the CA side of Lake Havasu and blacklighted for 2 nights. I got skunked. Not a thing. I saw a lot burrows though. And my relatives tell me scorps are all over the place. They gave me a 4 inch H. arizonensis that they had killed a few nights before. I wish they had kept it alive for me. It's was a magnificent scorp.
