SCORPION, URODACUS YASCHENKOI

right. Thought the read was neat but be neater to see the original color photos.

I still don't get the whole Melanin thing but I think I am beginning to understand it. maybe. So it is present in some arthropods that have been studied. 7 is what I read were studied and had it but moths and butter flies. But most don't have it or have not been studied for it. And they use it or a chemical like it for healing or harding and not color like most other animals.... is that right? I am confusing myself I think. Been playing in the google books to long.

So from what I read to say albino would be incorrect as it is not present in skin, scales, feathers, or hair for the purpose of color but in the ones studied with the presence of it used it for the sole purpose of healing themselves?

One more edit this is what I was looking at to form this question. http://books.google.com/books?id=i9...6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=Arthropods Melanin&f=false
