Scorpion Picture Thread

[Christoph]

Hi,
yes it could be but i'm not sure :?

 

[Ythier]

hi
looks like Heterometrus petersii from Vietnam
no?

Why not a laoticus George ?

 

[Ythier]

Hi
That looks a lot like a young Babycurus jacksoni, though with young instars its very difficult to tell.

I think it's a young Tityus serrulatus (looks at the striped legs Fusion )

Hi Eric
I don't think its T. serrulatus, the body colouration is completely different to the T. serrulatus I've seen. Many scorplings have stripped legs so I don;t know if thats a good indicator

Heres a T. serrulatus for comparison:

Why not a laoticus George ?

this one has thicker claws, more bulbous claws, and a very much more indented prosoma than my H.laoticus


and the H.petersii in Kovariks new Heterometrus ID pdf has very deep structure at the rear of the prosoma

H.laoticus:

the supposed H.petersii prosoma:

EDIT: and the male has barely any granulation: compared to mine which has ALOT:

Hi Eric
I don't think its T. serrulatus, the body colouration is completely different to the T. serrulatus I've seen.

I agree with the body colouration, mine are exactly like yours. I just supposed T.stigmurus essentially because of the leg last segments stripped and the big dark spot on the patella of pedipalps... but you're probably right, the body coloration is too different...
Christophe could you put a larger picture ?

Many scorplings have stripped legs so I don;t know if thats a good indicator

Just these last segments ? :? never seen other species like that yet...perhaps an other Tityus species ? :?

this one has thicker claws, more bulbous claws, and a very much more indented "mountain thing" than my H.laoticus and the H.petersii in Kovariks new Heterometrus ID pdf has very deep "mountain things"
EDIT< and the male has barely any granulation: compared to mine which has ALOT:

Thanks a lot George for these excellent explanations !

Christophe could you put a larger picture ?

Hi,
Thats difficult because my cam is not so gut and the Scorps are very small.Prehaps I made morning new pics

[Ythier]

You are totally right Fusion :worship: I did not remember that babies B.jacksoni had these legs.
Cheers,
Eric

Sure looks like a young Babycurus jacksoni, which i've seen hundreds of. I've seen these id'ed as Tiytus sp. and Centruroides sp. from pictures before.

Here is the new pic...

Here is the new pic...

[errit]

[Ythier]

a bunch of scorplings !

 

[G. Carnell]

which species!?
i cant quite make out the claws..


liochelidae?

 

[Ythier]

...a Leiurus, why ?
It's an iteroparous (2nd) brood of I.politus.
Cheers,
Eric

 

[Tityus]
