The Baja California bark scorpion is a slender scorpion with a long tail. It lives in the western deserts and wet places of North America, mainly in Baja California. It matters because it is closely related to the Arizona bark scorpion, and scientists only confirmed in 2004 that the two are separate species.1

Domov

It is often found in cool, moist places such as creek, stream and lakeside areas. It hides under tree bark, in rock crevices and in other ground cover to shelter from the daytime heat. It is nocturnal, so it is mostly active outside at night. It may occasionally shelter in homes or other buildings, but this is uncommon.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

Slender body with a long tail1
Typically sand-coloured, though it can appear darker1
Exoskeleton can be yellow, light brown or gold1
Body length of about 3.8 to 7.6 cm1
Rests its tail on the ground, unlike other scorpions that hold it arched over the back. It also has a subaculear tooth at the tip of its stinger1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: It is closely related to the Arizona bark scorpion, and their body shapes can be almost impossible to tell apart. Differences in venom and DNA are used to separate the two species. The subaculear tooth at the tip of the stinger and the way the tail rests on the ground are the main features that set it apart from other scorpions.1

Moč strupa

Piki

Strup pride ven skozi želo.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

It uses venom to hunt, injecting it into prey to immobilise or kill it. Each scorpion species has a unique venom profile, which is used to tell species apart. In humans, its venom may cause difficulty breathing or muscle spasms.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.

Its venom has the potential to be fatal to humans, but the chances of this happening are low. It is not considered dangerous, and it is less of a medical threat than its close relative, the Arizona bark scorpion.1

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

It can climb and cling upside down to surfaces, a behaviour called negative geotaxis.1

It can go without food or water for long periods, because its body is adapted to hold on to nutrients.1

It is prey for owls, lizards, snakes, bats, mice and shrews.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: It is the same species as the Arizona bark scorpion.

Resnica: The two were grouped as one species in 1980, but differences in venom toxicity and DNA analysis in 2004 showed they are separate species.1
