Whip Scorpion... with eggs

[Telkomisaloser]

Quite a rare find apparently... I had to snap a couple of shots of her before releasing her back into the wild May the force be with her and her future babies







I hope to see more of these critters in my backyard

Totally harmless though.

Check my mate's photo of the tailless one.

Fascinating little thing! Look at the "fingers" instead of normal pincers.

This.

Now I'll have nightmares.

If you live close to Durban you will usually find them under pool pump lids. The bigger ones feed on gecko while the smaller ones are eaten by them.

How'd you get her to stay still... and roll over for you? :wtf:

 

[Azbubu]

Then put a 5c coin right in front of her massive pincers of doom. :wtf:

Btw where'd you get that 5c? Apparently they're quite scarce

Such elegance in her stance!

She's lucky you found her and not Bear Grylls

They're pretty common but not often you see them with eggs for sure! Nice pics!

Some wusses here I see ... just kidding

They are harmless critters, got one photo of me on FB with one of those critters crawling on my face

You call it 'harmless', I call it 'combustible'.

I flipped my Mattress the other day and saw a GOEN, That thing was Massive, maybe the size of my hand. After sh@tting myself I preceded to help it along onto the afterlife.
