He also came across a couple of dark species with large chela that I could not identify, I don't know if it was the same one, but he treats scorps like he treats crocs.

Steve Irwin's the only person who'd do that. HaHa! He's crazy! But at least he doesn't just say the emps are "the most venomous arachnids known to man." LoL

the reason that emperors are used so often in movies is that, I guess... it's just good luck for movie makers that the largest scorpions in the world are scariest looking and very docile..

it's the obvious choice for a movie scorpion :)

Yeah, "size matters", except when it comes to scorpions.

yeah, in reality.. it's silly. But I guess the general public would assume that larger means more deadly.. lucky lucky.

man... I wonder if fried scorpion would be any good.

When I first saw an emperor I thought "wow, look at the size of that!", ma'am I'll take the big black scorpion, and give me some crickets....to go. Now as far as fried scorpion goes, I would use tempura and avoid beer-batter.

I later refined my taste, and got Androctonus bicolor, such a beautiful scorpion. Even now, I've been keeping C. gracilis, and I just love the look of them.
