Difference between

[Victor Koney]

Whats the difference between the leiurus haenggi and leiurus quinquestriatus scorpions?

 

[ArachnoDrew]

Coloration and some minor physical details @ruggthebuggman has kept them forevet.

So as far as the venom potency between the scorpions, are they somewhat similar?

Messed up tag @Rugg the bug man can chime in a bit more, LQ i believe is more potent but hengeii wouldnt be far behind it

@Victor Koney
@ArachnoDrew pretty much hit the nail on the head

As to venom potency Leiurus quinquestriatus has an LD50 value of 0.25 but I do not believe that L. haenggii has been given a value yet (I may be wrong) but I would suspect it to be close to that of L. quinquestriatus. Either way I wouldn't want to get tagged by either of them

Hello everybody

L. haenggii are smaller than L. quinquestriatus and they have a darker mesosoma. Other differences are taxonomical details.
