Centruroides sculpturatus
Small, delicate, amber-colored scorpion with very slender claws. Climbs well.
Typical Sonoran Desert habitat with saguaro cacti, ocotillo, and yucca. Found at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson Mountain Park at night.
Female scorpions carry their young on their back until their next molt. This is the only potentially lethal scorpion in the U.S.
