Small and slender scorpion about 7cm long from head to tip of tail. The mesosoma is dark brown and the prosoma is a medium brown like the legs and tail.
Attracted to the porch light to catch prey that falls to the ground at night. Oak woodland with lots of leaf litter.

Awesome spotting Cindy! The species seems to be somewhat variable in colour (compared to your other spottings). Night time pics?
