Black-backed hairy scorpion
螫The black-backed hairy scorpion is a large scorpion, around 15 centimetres long, that lives in the southern deserts of North America. It spends much of its time digging in the sand and enlarging its burrow. Its sting can be quite painful, although its venom is usually considered low in toxicity.1
怎麼認出牠
- Large, at around 15 cm in length1
- Completely black prosoma (the front body section, also called the cephalothorax)1
- Quite nervous, and can display aggressiveness1
常被誤認為： The giant desert hairy scorpion is a similar species. The black-backed hairy scorpion can be told apart because its prosoma (front body section) is completely black.1

如果牠螫人
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠螫了：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識
It finds prey by sensing vibrations, so it struggles to catch prey that moves less.1
It often pauses before feeding, but scientists do not know why.1
It is a burrowing scorpion that spends much of its time digging in the sand and enlarging its burrow.1
It needs high daytime temperatures of 30–35 °C and a sharp drop at night to about 20 °C, which mimics desert conditions.1
