Arizona bark scorpion
The Arizona bark scorpion is a small, light brown scorpion. It lives in the Sonoran Desert of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. It is the most venomous scorpion in the United States, so it is important to know what it looks like and what to do after a sting.1

The venom causes severe pain in adults, along with numbness, tingling and vomiting. These symptoms typically last between 24 and 72 hours. The stung area may stop working for a time, so a hand or arm can be temporarily immobilised or have convulsions. Some victims also feel short breaths and electrical jolts.1

Humpito
Scorpions, including this species, were found near ground zero during American nuclear tests, with no recorded harmful effects.1
Its venom has little effect on grasshopper mice, which scientists found use the toxin as a pain reducer rather than a pain trigger.1
It is the only scorpion genus in the Southwest that can climb rough walls and trees.1
Layers of wax on its outer shell help it resist water loss in the desert.1
Newly moulted scorpions do not glow under UV light for a few days.1
Young scorpions are gently guided onto their mother's back, where they stay after birth.1
Bonnoowo fenaandeeji
Fenaande: Scorpions go looking for people to sting them.
Goonga: They will not seek out humans unless they are provoked or defending their young. Many stings happen when people touch a scorpion on the underside of an object, where it is hiding.1
