McGRINGO's SCORPIONS
Found: Found in short burrows/scrapes under medium to large sized boulders (marked with an X in picture below).Thanks, A & Z Murray
Date:
26 April 2003
Length: Approx. 9cm
Very rocky hillside, more highly concentrated along the top ridges of koppies.
Comments: Adult males have distinctively elongated pedipalps. I found lots of specimens (male & female) over 100km apart on two dipstick samplings.
