A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Heterometrus longimanus
I found this large scorpion today in the worst place possible, amongst a bunch of shoes and sandals outside the mess hall where everyone eats lunch. Anyone stepping out of the mess would have been bare-footed, luckily we got him moved before someone's day got ruined.
Found outside the mess hall of a small employee housing community in an Agroforestry plantation.
Hi KaraNorby. Your spotting is featured in the new PN blog post via a link! Cheers http://projectnoah.tumblr.com/post/58511...
Thanks for the lead travellingchez, seems about right. I'll put that as the ID until I hear otherwise :)
I believe it's a asian giant forest scorpion like my spotting. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/162...
It was bad enough finding it crossing my path wouldn't have fancied finding one near my shoes.
