The stripe-tailed scorpion is a medium-sized scorpion that lives in the deserts of south-western United States and north-western Mexico. It is often found under rocks and on sandy ground. Although it is venomous like all scorpions, its venom is not considered dangerous to people.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Medium-sized, with adults reaching nearly 60–70 mm.1
Brownish-tan stripes run along the ridges on the back of the tail.1
The tail is typically thicker than the hands and pedipalps (the front claw-like limbs).1
Base colour is often light yellow or golden brown, with variable markings along the tail.1

Word dikwels verwar met: The Arizona bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) is similar in range. The stripe-tailed scorpion has a thicker tail than its hands and pedipalps, while bark scorpions have slender hands and pedipalps.1

As dit steek

Koel die steek met 'n yspak af en hou die persoon stil. Kry vinnig mediese hulp, veral vir kinders: sommige skerpioene is dodelik vir kinders.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

If the male keeps dancing longer than the female, she may attack him and eat him.1

During pregnancy, the female holds an unusually rigid body posture that no other scorpion shows, with her front legs lowered at birth.1

Mating involves a dance that can last from a few minutes to several hours, and the pair then goes their separate ways.1

Pallid bats, sand-swimmer snakes, spiders, centipedes, lizards, birds and other scorpions all prey on it.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Stripe-tailed scorpions are dangerous to people because they are venomous.

Waarheid: Although it is venomous, its venom is not medically significant for humans or other mammals.1
