Found a female with young covering her back when I was helping Greg Lasley chip up a bunch of trees and branches he was clearing, Wanted photos of the female but she dropped off the chuck of wood and some young fell off so grabbed the camera and took a few photos, not sure how these young that fell off will fair though most likely not well since no way to return them to mom.

Scorpion in a oak acorn cap
Scorpions are predatory arthropod animals of the order Scorpiones within the class Arachnida. There are about 2,000 species of scorpions, found widely distributed south of about 49° N, except New Zealand and Antarctica. The northernmost part of the world where scorpions live in the wild is Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey in the UK, where a small colony of Euscorpius flavicaudis has been resident since the 1860s. The word scorpion derives from Greek ÃÆ’κοÃÂÀιÌ – skorpios.
