What is the most beautiful scorpion?

[Eclipse]

I don't know about you guys, but with scorpions, I don't really care about the color. I'm more interested in its body shape and unique tail/claws.

I'm with Eclipse. I like the weird - looking scorpions.

Exactly!!!!
That's what I tell the tarantula people!!
But they're soooooo obsessed with colors.

Take a look here

those evil unfair tarantula people!


you get really colourful scorpions as well... and they are oddly shaped! and Scorps can be fuzzy too, some parabuthus species are hairy as hell.

Might be just me..

But I've always liked Euscorpius Flavicaudis. The black carapace and yellow legs make it a stunning scorp. Wish I knew where to get one though.

Euscorpius is one of my favorite genera by far... I plan to collect some in the future.

A. bicolor.

Either A. Bicolor or the Mauretenicus.

 

[Beardo]

My favorite scorpion has always been A. mauritanicus....I wish they were more readily available.

hey now...im a tarantula owner and im not evil!....i love scorps just as well....havent got as many, but to show i love them equally i got an H. spadix tattoo on my leg! and not one tarantula tattoo. i like color as much as anyone else....but it isnt everything...i mean my favorite T is an oklahoma brown...and yes there just brown...as far as what i belive to be the most " beautiful" scorp i have seen thus far...would have to be any tytius sp.(spelling?) also H. spadix, just because their always standing like there going to sting you....but i too love claws and tails....i love how the A. Australius tail goes from yellow to dark black almost as if its death itself creeping from the base to the tip....if you want to see my bad A$$ H. spadix tattoo then go to my pic link.....hahaha......man i need to get more scorps...first i need to talk my wife into letting me get some better more venomous species!

I'd give anything to get my hands on a few of these.

Did he just bump up the saturation on this scorp?

<EDIT>

 

[~Abyss~]

looks freshly molted. I dont think he'd appreciate his pictures being used without permission though. Maybe a link instead?
*edit a few of my personal pics of beautiful scorps sorry for the quality
