I've already seen females (C.gracilis and N.hierichonticus) eating the spermatophore...but after having absorbed it !
Before having absorbed it is really strange, it doesn't make sense. Is it the first mating of this female Alex ?

 

[TheNothing]

i had to read it a couple of times, but she did absorb it first

Hi ,

yes, she absorbed it first. Sorry, if I wasn´t able to make myself clear. With "afterwards" I meant after having absorbed the spermatophore.

Hi
Yes the spermatophore eating is reported in Polis and by Lourenco I think, whats interesting is that the female was not guided by the male to the spermatophore, which I thought always happened.

 

[Nazgul]

Hi,

that fascinated me too. In the end the male was lifted by the female much more than on the last pic above. Looked really strange. Unfortunately I couldn´t take a picture as it all happened very fast.

Regards
Alex

The H. arizonesis that you have are all of azizoneis subspecie, not of pallidus subspecie.

That is an Hadrurus arizonensis pallidus.

pallidus isn't even a recognized subspecies anymore... last i heard

Some pics:
Heterometrus laoticus (Thailand) showing post-moult stretching:

pics of L.mucronatus and T.paraensis, (they're around the same size)

Great stretching pic George.

Beautiful Tityus paraensis George! :drool:

That is an Hadrurus arizonensis pallidus.

This is an interesting morph of Hadrurus arizonensis, normally the mesoma is much darker in Hadrurus arizonensis (and subspecies), I have not seen one with this colouration before.

hi Oliver
Martin Goss had some of these last time i saw his list (if you want any)

 

[Androctonus_bic]

The Nothing: pallidus isn't even a recognized subspecies anymore... last i heard.

Ok, I supose that pallidus is the subspecie, because if it was a variety of arizonensis, It will be H.arizonensis var. pallidus.

But it is just a supusition. I'm not sure about this term.
