Memnoch
Pandinus imperator





He puts on quite the threat display, but can't even get him to pinch anything but a cricket... has a good arm and will bat things out of the way though...



Centruroides gracilis
4th Instar





the six remaining from Tequila's brood... same brood as Haroldo359's two and the 17 that Golden Phoenix just recieved...

Hi Alex

Very beautiful species and pictures, i like them realy :drool:

 

[fusion121]

Great picture Alex, I hope you have good luck with the scorplings. How many did she give birth to?

 

[Nazgul]

Hi.

thanks.

Oliver, I have no idea how much she gave birth to. I just came home yesterday night and found her with scorplings on her back. And I haven´t got the slightest idea on the species yet. It belongs to the acutecarinatus group but that´s all I found out so far.

Hi
I guess you could check out that Compsobuthus paper by Kovarik, though it only covers a few species. I'm going to visit the BMNH entomology library this week to try and find some info on Compsobuthus spp. from Israel so if I manage to get any good ID papers for this genus I will let you know.

 

[Nazgul]

Hi Oliver,

I already did but it´s not really useful. And I´m not so sure that some of the newly described species in this paper will stay valid. Also I checked the Levy & Amitai book. It´s not really useful for Compsobuthus spp from Oman but you should be able to identify yours by using it. Anyways, any suggestions for Compsobuthus keys for the Middle East are welcome .

Regards
Alex

lovely Het Niko i wish my babies were as aggressive

---
i saw some photo-competition in the T section, the border idea kinda inspired me, so this is what i ended up with:, nothing fancy because photoshop was deciding to really annoy me (if you have photoshop, you know the feeling )

edit: weeee a bit too much free black space

Hi,
I dropped a cricket in this morning, and i think the poor thing was just resigned to getting eaten because he walked right up to my P. imperator, who proceeded to grab and eat him. Anyway, I got a few pics of the process, but these two are my faves. Looking at all these awesome scorps makes me realize I need some more.
