Hairy dudes in the desert

Juvenile Arizona Hairy scorpions Hadrurus arizonensis - these guys can move some earth for all the size of them. What they lack in size they more than make up for in strength, appetite and aggression!



Under natural light


Under UV light

wow

Hes a cool looking critter karl
I'd like to get one, but Dads having none of it lmao

Very nice purchase....I had an adult female a few years back and boy was she aggressive .
found an old pic of her, always ready to bang the first thing that got near her...

Karl thats a funky looking scorp. Did you just get the one? I NEED a flamin black light, it's next on my list and that's a fantastic set of images. How much fun can be had in your house with these alone :)...Also, pmsl at your reason for editing

Buddy that's a great shot. You seem to have kept some mental arachnids in the past lol

I got 2 small juvies, they are teeny-tiny but so much fun to watch....and they wolf down nymph dubia roaches like theres no tomorrow! I've been after these little guys for a while now and finally found them.

Buddy, thats an amazing shot - any shots of their set-up? Its looks cracker.

How did you get that shot under UV light. I have tried with my scorpions but the shots never look as good as that.

I have a small UV torch, and shone it on the scorpion while taking the shot with the flash off; I then slowly switched the flash on, which drowned out the UV light, and took the second shot so that the scorpion was in the same pose in both photos.

V. cool photos Karl...
