Caught this scorpion today in Northern California. I don't know much about scorpions, i was just wondering what the common name is.

Not sure that they have a common name. It looks like either an Anuroctonus sp. or an Uroctonus sp.

thanks guys, I thought it may be an anuroctonus phaiodactylus. What do you guys think? I didn't even know we had scorpions here.

Can we get a scale picture of that guy? I have a tiny one that's about dime-sized and I'd like to know how large they get. (Hopefully I'll be catching some next week.)
