The striped bark scorpion is a medium-sized, pale yellow scorpion with two dark stripes along its back. It lives across the middle of the United States and in northern Mexico, and it is perhaps the most often seen scorpion in the US. Its sting is painful, but it is very rarely deadly.1

It lives in deserts, deciduous and coniferous forests, and temperate grassland. By day it hides under rocks and surface debris, in vegetation, and in old sheds, barns and houses. Thousands of people are stung each year, often while barefoot or when they touch it by accident in houses and other buildings.1

Otrovna snaga

Ubodi

Otrov izlazi kroz žalac.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. These can cause tingling and numbness (paresthesia) and muscle spasms. One toxin keeps pain-sensing nerves firing for longer than normal, so the pain lasts. In rare severe cases, the venom can trigger a strong allergic-type reaction, with swelling, breathing trouble and, in the most severe cases, anaphylactic shock.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

Opasnost za ljude: BolnoMože jako boljeti, ali gotovo nikad nije ozbiljno.

Thousands of people are stung every year. The sting is painful and causes localised swelling, and it is very rarely deadly. Severe allergic-type reactions have occurred in some cases.1

Ako ubode

Swelling can be treated with an ice pack. Get medical help straight away if symptoms are strong, because stings from some related bark scorpions can be deadly.1
Ohladi ubod vrećicom leda i drži osobu mirnom. Brzo potraži liječničku pomoć, osobito za djecu: neki škorpioni su smrtonosni za djecu.

Uvijek prvo nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911). Ovo su opće upute za prvu pomoć, a ne liječnički savjet. Osnove prve pomoći

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ubode: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice

Before mating, males hold a showdown, waving their tails until one backs down. The winner then performs a courtship dance called the promenade a deux, in which larger males usually succeed.1

Unlike most scorpions, this species is social, so males and females have more chances to meet and compete for mates.1

In Colorado, people hunt for these scorpions with blacklights each late summer around the Cheyenne Mountain area.1

Populations have been found in some cities far outside its natural range, most likely brought there by human activity.1

Birds, reptiles, some mammals and larger arachnids prey on it, and juveniles spend much of their time in vegetation to avoid being eaten.1
