Collecting California's Most Toxic Scorpion

- Two videos in one:
I. Collecting the Arizona Bark Scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) in Southern California where there exits an introduced population.
II. Looking for an obscure scorpion from a dune system in the Mojave Desert. Turns out they actually key out as Paruroctonus borregoensis from this location, not P. luteolus. They are approximately equally rare.

Ive taken multiple sting's from the bark scorpion in Las Vegas. There are a lot of them do to importing rock for front yards from Arizona. I also heard they came in from palm tree nurseries.
Yes, they are very effective at propagating themselves in new habitat, though it seems like this is in large part due to human transport.
@@GeneralApathy isn't it true that a female can mate once and have multiple clutches?
@@fearfullywonderfullymade4057 It depends on the species. I've only heard of this behavior from some Buthids. There are other environmental factors at play as well, which I know very little about.

The moth: *turns into a self guided missile when it sees a light*
2:25 that one was crazy

Yes! Another scorpion hunt! :D
Nice 600 subs congratulations!
Thank you. :D
I love ur vids man keep up the hunting ones 😊🙏
Thank you, I will. :)
Hey man im the guy that caught the 2 tarantulas and watching the calisoga which is actually 2 now cause i found another burrow but this is my main account the other one is my work phone account lol😂 keep up the good work bro your videos are addictive as a fellow arachnid lover 🔥
Thank you, Diego. :D
@@GeneralApathy of course! I was just about to ask how I can positively identify my tarantula but you beat me to it haha
Nice job on getting the community tab
Thank you. Not sure yet if I will use it; it tends to have consistently low audience reach.
Most toxic scorpion? Must be in a bug Facebook group
Im funny I think, maybe, at least a little
@@moldycreamcheese2317 Good one.
You can make it to 1k!!!
I lived in Cave Creek, AZ. We had dozens of bark scorpions on the property. They lived in burrows. I never saw one in a tree?
I live in the Central Valley but haven’t seen any scorpions around tbh. I’ve seen em on mount diablo though.
Hey i seen a scorpion in a room, in an air b n b when I was in Cali. It looked like quite brown, but it was pretty small. How can I ID it?
We also had a black widow on our doorstep, real cool!
How do you know so much also? Admirable!
I got bit by one a scorpion while I was taking a piss no I’m trying to go to sleep and I’m scared shitless I think there’s gonna be another one in my bed
That’s one of the biggest dessert hairy scorpions I’ve ever seen not in captivity
all these species in close proximity yet look so similar, i wonder what their niche partitioning is. I once found a black scorpion when I randomly lifted up a rock in a trail in Kings Canyon in a sequoia grove, any idea what species it might have been? About 2"
Uroctonus franckei if you were on the eastern slope, otherwise it was just an unusually dark Uroctonus mordax.
@@GeneralApathy no sequoias on the eastern slope! I tried to look it up but there really isn't a good online resource on scorpion diversity in CA unlike say for amphibians. I see in googling that they're describing new species with some regularity, but Mordax seems like a good bet
@@GeneralApathy Hey I posted a video to my channel of the black scorpion plus some nearby vegetation. As you can see not exactly an Eastern Slope Sierras type of forest, although Kings Canyon goes east-west so there may be some mixing of habitat/flora, but the presence of Sequoias is diagnostic for a west-slope-type environment. Any thoughts on ID?
Where is this location? Hoping to find some to photograph south of Blythe below Palo Verde.
I was in the Laughlin area last night looking for some Arizona bark scorpions but I didn’t find any. I did find a different species that I kept but I have no clue what it is.
I am pretty sure that toxic is a word used exclusively for things and animals that harm you if you eat them, and it's incorrect to say scorpions are toxic I think, but I am no expert so you're to judge.
Where is this location? I want to go there to photograph them.
lol "successfully apprehended"....jesus good luck sleeping out there at night!
can do a video on wolf spiders again? Preferably hogna carolinensis
H. carolinensis will show up in future videos, though it may be a while.
Where is this?
Do you ever post scorpions on Instagram?
Sometimes.
do they bark?
☠️
do you ever sell scorpions I am looking to add them to my collection
Very infrequently.
@@GeneralApathy thank you can you recommend a reputable seller ?
@@DEAexotics I don’t really buy scorpions, so I cannot make any recommendations, sorry.
@@GeneralApathy thank you for your help and you have a great channel keep up the great work
What desert in California?
Mojave Desert.
@@GeneralApathywhat part of the Mojave?
How do you learn so much about the different types of species and things? I'm an exterminator and this information would help me out a lot.
The location of the scorpion, size, venom, shape of the head, pattern on tail and back are good ways to know scorpions in your area
@@bradleydickson6159 that's literally not what I'm asking man, I'm asking if there's books or certain people to read up on that have information about bugs etc.
@@slingshotkurt8474 just look online at scorpions in the state/providence you live in
Hey could you give me one of your scorpions please. I’d really like one.
