was a cold misty moon lit winter night. Might have been a perfect setting for some romance for this couple!! I was surprised to the place chosen by this pair, it was the only rock in the surrounding and it was like a perfect stage!!I was late for the show but anyways i didnt miss it :) Like the scorpions the whip scorpions also involve in a mating ritual that looks like a dance. The "dance" is actually to test the of strength of male. I wanted to observe and document the behavior as long as the show continued but unfortunately had to retreat due to arrival of the jumbos!
Dark and dry places under rocks, in small burrows, under rotting wood..
