Scolopendra ID in California

[Stugy]

Exactly why I'm not saying
Too much cool stuff at this spot for me to hotspot it for collectors

You could of at least have said "I'm not going to tell you" xD

Well, I at least told you SE San Diego and a popular hiking trail.

As with fishing or mushroom hunting or reptile collecting, be grateful for ANY hints as to someone's stomping grounds

Lol my only plan when it comes to collecting is 1. Collect native scorpions 2. Breed the scorpions 3. Sell a few and release most back to where I found the parents (and keep a few to breed again). I practically don't care if I see a tarantula or anything. All about the scorpions for me

Thanks- like I said, I was fairly certain, but I'd not ever seen the blue phase in this location

You can see those anywhere, red, yellow, green, blue, purple, white and bandless. Many people seem to think the blue morphs are confined to the deserts for some reason

Chilobase lists S. viridis as a native of California, as well as 3 species of Scolopocryptos (It also lists S. heros, but as far as I have read that isn't true). http://chilobase.biologia.unipd.it/searches/result_geographic_search?page=4&search_data[areaSelect]=CAL&search_data[continentSelect]=7&search_data[countrySelect]=[none+selected]&search_data[regionSelect]=76

S viridis and heros do not range west of the colorado river

You know, I have NEVER flipped a scorpion at this location, nor have o seen one on trail at night
