Androctonus crassicauda! The Israeli example (from the palestinian westbank) was collected few years ago. I was walking through the hills for hours with little sucess, it was a very hot night and I got tierd.
Then I saw a special stone and thought.. let's give it a last try.
I remember moving this huge stone (I don't know how I could lift it alone). While I just lifted the stone a few centimeters I could spot him with my UV light right away. I forced myself = YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE STONE!!! YOUR NOT GOING HOME UNTIL YOU MOVED IT! The stone was actuelly a part of a ancient house (or what was left of it (more then 2000 years old) ).
The one from the Emirates was collected during spring 2004. Sorry for the bad quality of picture...
