Black Scorpion this time!

Further to my recent post about the aggressiveness of scorpions, I found another little chap to play with….

This time it was a black scorpion which I believe is another variant of the European Scorpion, but I didn’t ask for his identification to be honest. About 2″ or 5-6cm long, with very wide reaching pincers, I found him under a sack of coal when preparing for a new delivery of 110 sacks last week.

These guys can apparently give a much nastier sting than the yellow ones I featured last time (see below), but that’s just gossip I had no intention of confirming either way.

But yet again, just to demonstrate how non-aggressive they are, I took another brief video for you…. all they want to do is have a quiet life, a just scurry off out of your way every time.
