Interesting info koixtreme, Sorry about my ignorance, I thought all scorpions could kill with the same power.
I haven't seen scorpions in the wild, but I had a preserved black scorpion in my house. A friend brought it from Thailand. [Though, I am not particularly supportive about killing and selling animals/insects].
Thank you namitha.
These kind of scorpions are not that dangerous. Its the ones with the thick tail that are more poisones.
Interesting creatures how ever, in the sense of survival just to name a few.
I am terribly afraid of scorpions, but this is a really cool spotting.
