Heterometrus spinifer

Heterometrus spinifer, the Giant Forest Scorpion or Giant Blue Scorpion, is a species of scorpions belonging to the family Scorpionidae.

Description

Heterometrus spinifer can reach a length of about 10–12 centimetres (3.9–4.7 in). The body is shiny black with gray-green reflections. The pincers are highly developed. It feeds primarily on insects, mainly cockroaches, crickets and locusts. Its venom can cause very severe pain, disorders of vision and mild numbness in the affected area but it is not lethal for the man. These scorpions are very aggressive, using their large pedipalps to attack, more than their tail.

Distribution and habitat

This species can be found in South East Asia, including Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Generally, these terrestrial scorpions live in moist forests in the dark undergrowth under logs or other debris and they burrow into the ground where it can hide during the day.
