Scorpions in Japan?

[Arachno Kid]

Hey all I will be going to Japan soon and would like to take some pics or presents home with me from the trip. So The question is can people give me scientific names and locality data on some of them?

If you guys also know about any intresting true spiders,Centis,Ts,Praying mantis,walking sticks, or other predatory inverts PLEASE include them in your post




Please Respond.
