Androctonus australis
A pair of yellow fat tail scorpion mating under Uv light.
They are found throughout the arid and semi-arid regions of the middle east and africa.
Hello, this is a great image. I was wondering if I could use this photograph as a drawing reference please? I would simply use it as a skeleton sketch for anatomy and then draw the developed fictional character using the anatomy and rough pose, with changes.
Aj, thats AWESOME! Who would ever think of having scorpions as pets? And another thing, are the fighting or something?
hi reza thanks for reminding. actually this photo was taken last year and repost it here to share it with you guys. :-)
Hi Aj, wonderful spotting, I guess you have the dates all wrong here since you have posted this picture along with other pictures of the same spotting on 19th December 2011 on this website http://www.scorpion-forum.com/t7830-andr...
yes, these are my pets. thanks for changing the category. i'll post some local inverts from my country nextime. :-)
In addition to my previous comment, if you haven' t already done it, I would recommend reading through the FAQ page: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
While we do allow pet submissions, here at PN the focus is really on living organisms in the natural world and in their native environments. I bet there are some very interesting organisms in the Phillipines!
Welcome to Project Noah! Your scorpion photos are very nice. Are these your pets?
