Hello again,
I finally got a few pics (yah, I know they aren't the best, but I really tried and these are the best I have!) to post for help with a positive ID. I am having trouble with finding ANY info on species found here (both endemic and possible introduced). Ythier was kind enough to send me the possible three known species to be found, but I have searched for images and am coming up blank here. It doesn't help at all that my internet connection is AMAZINGLY slow! (remember 56K dial up???? well, that is fast comparatively speaking!) Anyway, I have ruled out BU Isometrus maculatus, that is definetly not it. The other two choices are BU Tityus insignis or SCN Didymocentrus lesueurii. Any help here at all would be greatly appreciated. Here is the info to go with the photos.....
Habitat: St Lucia W.I. Dry sandy, rocky area near coast. open ground as well
as densely
covered scrub. Three specimens found inside house after heavy rain
Size:the smallest 1 cm total length, largest so far 3 cm
description: see pics
Color: small specimens light brown, slightly transparent, older specimen deep
brown to black
