OK, so over the weekend I bumped into some scorpion fundi friends of mine, we got chatting about this scorpion I mentioned in a thread a few weeks back that I have in my collection.

According to Jonathan Leeming, they are abundant in certain areas of KZN AND !!! ...the scorpion in question is probably Uroplectes fischeri or Uroplectes fischeri X ....

So, this would make their distribution from Tanzania all the way down to KZN ...unbelievable !!!

Anyway, scorpion enthusiasts should find this interesting

here are the pics again.

Enjoy
D

they look awesome Scorpion

These are being sold all over Europe as Uroplectes fischeri - Black Morph. Don't know how correct they are though.

imagine taking a trip to a super remote place in the Amazon! can you imagine how many sp we are loosing as a planet their at the moment!Any new species just makes our world that more rich, not with money but character and life!

Beautiful scorpion either way!:woohoo:

As pointed out in another thread, I actually thought they were U.fischeri because I didn't collect them but the collector swears they were found at Pongola and U.fischeri are found in Tanzania.

It definately isn't U. Fischeri, if you compare pics you will see - they are similar but not the same.

I have also made some other cool scorp discoveries which I will share next week
