I found this scorpion near the Christmas Mts. Near the N.W. boundary of Big Bend National Park.
Was this scorpion actually found at the location on the map? Although rare, this morph has popped up in a few places, but is merely a color mutation of Centruroides vittatus. It was originally described from Big Bend National Park as Centruroides pantheriensis and occurs like this throughout the Chihuahuan Desert from the southern Big Bend Region into Mexico.
