Tityus pachyurus
Largish Scorpion, at around 4.5cm excluding the 'tail'. Red brown in colour, except the last two segments of the 'tail', which were of a greenish grey. Its sting is considered a health risk!
Found at night on a tree trunk in tropical rainforest on the Osa Peninsula.
A study from Panama considers this species to be potentially lethal. http://www.sertox.com.ar/modules.php?nam...
