Hi
I notice that sources of LD50 info are often asked for on this forum so I thought I'd post this here, I hope you enjoy :
http://scorpions.dimensional-rift.co.uk/LD50table.htm
It’s a list of LD50 values that as far as I can tell covers nearly all LD50 values recorded for scorpions in the literature, as well as the amount of venom injected by the scorpion per sting. There are already some great lists out there but this includes the last 10+ years of venom research and so quite a few new species.
I've been compiling it for a while, mostly while reading up on recent scorpion venom research, its designed for the hobbyist primarily so leaves out allot of other data on the experimental method, but I think it should give people a good idea of the danger that certain species present.
If you've got any other venom data to add to it, give me an PM (any on the Vaejovidae would be great as I could find diddly squat )
