Anuroctonus phaiodactylus
Looks awfully dark to be a nine lined scorpion
One of the ways to tell Anuroctonus apart from other genera in California is the tooth at the base of the aculeus.
It was found in a shoe and moved to the jar it is in in the photos before I could get a picture, it is a wild scorpion
Please explain where you found this as it appears to be captive. Also the habitat field should always be completed with details of the habitat where it was seen. Please refer to our FAQs http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
