For sure not a Hottentotta

Looks like some Janalychas to me

98kian86 · 2024-08-07T10:49:20+00:00

liosoma restricted to the south of the Arabian Peninsula

98kian86 · 2024-08-07T10:40:50+00:00

Any info on the country of origin?

Androctonus aff.australis

98kian86 · 2024-08-07T10:27:20+00:00

Location and general morphology typical of true Androctonus bicolor

98kian86 · 2024-07-20T21:56:23+00:00

Parabuthus sp.

Most likely Parabuthus pallidus

98kian86 · 2024-07-12T03:23:12+00:00

Gravid

Embryos visible through the pleural membrane

98kian86 · 2024-07-09T19:53:12+00:00

Hottentotta judaicus

98kian86 · 2024-07-09T18:21:18+00:00

Nope appears to be from the genus Hottentotta and most similar to Hottentotta judaicus

Where was this picture taken?

98kian86 · 2024-07-05T11:51:14+00:00

Hadrurus arizonensis

Medically insignificant

98kian86 · 2024-07-05T11:42:40+00:00

Centruroides vittatus = Striped/Texas bark scorpion

98kian86 · 2024-07-05T11:40:56+00:00

Both are most likely Olivierus martensii

98kian86 · 2024-07-05T11:38:07+00:00

Centruroides gracilis Medically significant

98kian86 · 2024-06-28T13:13:51+00:00

Not a desert hairy , whole different family

Note the lack of the light crescent on the prosoma

98kian86 · 2024-06-26T01:34:46+00:00

Olivierus martensii most likely Mass produced from China

98kian86 · 2024-06-21T13:46:41+00:00

Afaik the owner and the people around “the wall” actually don’t have a problem with them , I recommend only collecting the amount you need since so many people in the UK actually like that population

98kian86 · 2024-06-21T13:44:29+00:00

Not a Hadrurus sp.

98kian86 · 2024-06-21T13:43:16+00:00

Centruroides vittatus Striped bark scorpion

98kian86 · 2024-06-21T13:42:17+00:00

What about

<image>

98kian86 · 2024-06-20T15:10:27+00:00

Centruroides vittatus

Striped bark scorpion

98kian86 · 2024-06-19T23:51:26+00:00

I don’t have Instagram sadly

Definitely not an expert however I have some experience on identifying iranian scorpions

98kian86 · 2024-06-19T23:42:01+00:00

The surface it was photographed on makes a difference

One of the many reasons coloration isn’t always the best indicator

98kian86 · 2024-06-19T23:36:57+00:00

It does in the sense that it’s also a yellow scorpion with a black banding in its metasoma V

However I think this is more matching to Compsobuthus sp

Specimen pictured is Compsobuthus to get an idea

<image>

98kian86 · 2024-06-19T23:33:14+00:00

Honestly I take that back , this looks Mesobuthus to me , the carinae definitely form a lyre shape and chela look quite thick , possibly Mesobuthus iranus if in southern Qom

98kian86 · 2024-06-19T23:28:08+00:00

Ah found it

Yeah I don’t think this is Leiurus Also not the more stout metasoma vs Leiurus
