C. margaritatus common name?

[Deolok]

Anyone know what the common name for C. margaritatus is? I thought it was a type of bark scorpion, but I wasn't sure which type.

A lot of times they come into the US in shipments and are called "Central American Gold scorpions".

I'm not a fan of common names anyhow, but this one seems as ridiculous as any of them.

Most certainly, use the scientific names!

 

[Deolok]

yea I know, common names arn't much, but when I have customers they are more easily suited with the common name.

Come on man! use your imagination:


Middle american, multi-coloured, not so poisonous pseudo goldenyellowredandblackish bark scorpion

I like the common names because I can not translate the scientific name into Chinese here.
We call it as Mexico bark scorpion here in China.

Ooooooooooh :wall: Woodson,


Why do you think scientific names are used all over the world?? So there is no need to translate them.....

 

[Deolok]

I guess I could of gone with Northern Black Hearted, that'd be a cool name eh?

We call it as Mexico bark scorpion here in China.

The only problem with that name is that there are several species of "Mexican Bark Scorpions".

Yes, it's like C, He or Ag. Most people who know some sience understand these, it's the same as with the real names for scorpions.

Carbon, helium and silver.

Most places around here call them Central American Bark Scorpions, however I prefer the name Guatemalan Gringo Killer.
