Scorpion Picture Thread

[TheNothing]

Hey Alex,
been waiting months for someone to question these. I'm fairly sure of the ID, but have not checked for tibial spurs. They hail from Tanzania, which has both L. obsti and I. maculatus. I have a preserved specimen that I can check on at my next convienence (tonight). Thanks for the tibial spur tip.

my preserved specimen is MIA
and other pics aren't clear enough to distinquish a tibial spur...
this is gonna be a fun night....

Hi,

I´d be very interested in your result. As I said, your female is looking almost identical than my maculatus female.

Euscorpius sp., Paros, mating and the result

Do Euscorpius use a sexual sting during mating? The male looks like hes trying.

S. marus

H. troglodytes

A. mauritanicus

Not sure about Alex's observations, but ive overseen 5-6 Euscorp matings, and a sexual sting was always used (for 5-10 minutes in my E.flavicaudis)

that was the most boring part...

Hi,

this was my first observation of an Euscorpius mating. All other times my Euscorpius spp mated while I´ve ben away. Yes, the male definitely stung the female although it didn´t take several minutes.

Lychas sp. female, this time with 2nd instars

Sexual sting is also in the menu of E.Italicus mating.

Hi,

a few weeks before she popped she got really huge. If yours are looking like a blimp it shouldn´t take too long.

Rhopalurus junceus molt to the 6th instar

 

[Arlius]

Bad Isaac.... what species is that? Does that species often molt upside down attached to wood? Wouldnt have thought it would be able to stick to it once it starts pulling everything out.... crazy...
