Hentz striped scorpion
The Hentz striped scorpion is a bark scorpion that lives in the southeastern United States. It often hides under logs, stones and bark, and it sometimes turns up in houses. Its sting is painful, but it does not usually cause lasting harm.1

怎麼認出牠
- Light mottled brown body with lines spreading out from a yellow stripe down the middle of the back.1
- Claws and legs marked with brown marbling, while the underside of the legs is pale and unmarked.1
- Males are slimmer, with long tail segments. Females are larger, with short, rounded tail segments.1
- Adults are about 3.7 cm (males) to 3.9 cm (females) in length.1
常被誤認為: In Florida it lives alongside the Florida bark scorpion (Centruroides gracilis) and the Guiana striped scorpion (Centruroides guianensis).1
毒液力量
毒液從螫針出來。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
Its venom is used mainly for defence and for catching prey. The venom differs between populations, and between males and females. After use, it takes at least 14 days to regenerate.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。Stings are painful and cause discomfort, but they do not have long-lasting effects or severe medical consequences.1
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
The first recorded case of an assassin bug preying on a scorpion involved this species and Microtomus purcis.1

Its predators include the federally endangered Picoides borealis and the non-native Osteopilus septentrionalis.1
