Thank you!Pandipalpus viatoris
You're welcome, it's a very good looking female too, congrats! These used to be rarer than hens teeth but have been popping up in the last few years. Where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking?Thank you!
Thanks! I think she’s gorgeous! I named her Lilith (lilîtu) meaning “belonging to the night”. I figured it was a pretty fitting nameYou're welcome, it's a very good looking female too, congrats!

That’s really neat! I’ve found scorpions difficult to identify at times. I’m trying to learn!We had both viatoris and imperator at the show this weekend. It was super useful in being able to teach people the difference.
The stingers and claws on the viatoris have a reddish hue while the imperator's is more tan/brown. Also the granulation on the claws is more even on the imperator and on the viatoris, where the 'thumb claw' is get a bit less grainy. It's pretty subtle but when you have them side by side,That’s really neat! I’ve found scorpions difficult to identify at times. I’m trying to learn!
