Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. These can cause tingling and numbness (paresthesia) and muscle spasms.

Iinyaniso
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
