can anybody tell me what kind of scorpion this is?

Camel spiders are so creepy looking.. I love them! The uglier and nastier it is, the more I like it! ;)

Giant vinegaroons and tailless whipscorpions are very cool/ugly too. :)

so is the scorpion i found a desert hairy scorpion? ooh, and can some post a pic of a camel spider? i think they'd be cool!

More than likely, it is a bark scorpion. At least thats what it looks like to me, the same ones I used to have to check my room/bedding for with a black light every night. Taske it from me, they will make you sick something aweful if stung. Yes, I found that out by experience.

i found a pic! http://urbanlegends.about.com/librar...mel_spider.htm they are cool!

Thats just freaky! Is that 2 spiders in that pic or one shedding?

its two. i think ones hooked on/biting the other or something.

Ick!!!!! Ick Ick Ick... I hate spiders! I think if I ever saw one of those, I'd die on the spot from fright.

I visited Europe last year and found a HUGE spider in my room... I stayed frozen solid until my roomy came to see what was up. She had to kill it, and she was terrified too! :P I'm such a wuss when it comes to eight legged creatures... BLECH!

1. The clearer the scorpian, the more venomous.

Absolutely untrue.

The scorpion A. bicolor is one of the hotter scorpions in the world, and it's about 5 inches. It's dark brown or black. However, it's not a native species.

Basically, don't pick up any scorpion and treat it as if it were hot, and you'd be safer. I think Arizona Bark Scorpions are the only dangerously hot scorpions in the US, but I'm not a native scorpion expert.

I do think that is some sort of bark scorpion, but I need a closer picture to make any sort of real guess.

That is such a dark picture I don't see how anyone can make much of it..
