Hi
There has been an increased number of death following scorpions bites in central Morocco this year. With the warm weather and lack of rain , it seems the scorpions are proliferating not only in usual places like the countrysides & deserts but now in the cities.
In Marrakech, where I live, Scorpions presence were always in the vicinity of the city, not inside.
But last week in October , we found an Androctonus Mauretanicus inside the company I work for which is in a popular neighborhood. There is a small wasteland near the compagny and it seems it came from there. A poor neighborhood, where people including children like to stay outside until 10 pm, is just 30 meter from the wasteland. Here is picture I took with my phone of the now dead scorpion.
