I was watching that series on NGC called Galapagos and i got to thinking. Is there any scorpions on any of the islands? Of so has evolution taken them through a different path making them slightly different than other scorpions?

CARABOCTONIDAE
Kraepelin, 1905

This family was established recently in Soleglad & Fet's major revision of higher scorpion systematics. Members of this family are found in North and South America (Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands, Mexico, Per, USA), and they were previsouly included in the family Iuridae. Caraboctonidae currently has four genera and and 18 species [Updated 12.08.05].
