A Beautiful Scorpion

This is my Parabuthus villosus "oranje" 7i female. She is stunning in my humble opinion, wanted to share:

Medically significant venom, huge size, beautiful colors. The only species I keep...

Tiny claws= danger. Heehee.

Very cool!

Same logic actually applies to politicians as well :rolleye2:

Politics. From the Latin 'poly' meaning 'many' and 'ticks' meaning 'blood suckers'...

That's a sweet looking scorpion. I'm not super knowledgable in inverts but that's a beauty you got there.

Thanks.

Here is how she looks at night under UV light:

Wow! That is epic! Love the black light!

I may be arachnophobic, but I can still admire a pretty animal. She reminds me of the female scorpion I had for a short period of time - just a couple weeks, before sending her to live in the Bio lab at the local college, but that was just one that I caught locally to identify (found it where my cousin's baby had been playing), and she turned out to be a Black-Back Hairy Scorpion, Hadrurus spadix, native here and not dangerous.

This girl doesn't take prisoners...

I got a mate for her but she disposed of him quickly... Nothing gets wasted though, en expensive meal for an expensive tarantula:

Here is the video of the incident, totally my fault scaring him into females burrow:

Total destruction visible under UV light after about 7hrs.

Happens with arachnids, sad but not a big loss.

Oh wow she is gorgeous. I absolutely love scorpions, I am looking to get one basically exactly like this with the significant venom and the size.
Thanks for the share mate

I used to deal a lot with scorpions back when I ran InvertWorld. I used to have all the rare stuff but then I got out of it because I had like hundreds of scorpions and I had snakes and no help, so I had to scale back and ended up selling the scorpions.
