Description

ARIZONA BARK SCORPION: Centruroides sculpturatus The Arizona Bark Scorpion is the single most dangerous Scorpion in the U.S.. The venom is considered life threatening. Needless to say, I was VERY cautious taking this picture as my lens was about one inch from the little guy. Yes, the Scorpion was alive! ( I live in an area where they are VERY common.)

I think scorpions are always scary.. nothing to do with the power of the venom... I dislike them.. I know I shouldn't, but I do. This picture is beautiful.. very detailed...
