Very nice shot, it looks like each eye section has 2 eyes in it.

Lovely shots- interesting jaw arrangement - looks like it's got 4 all at right angles to each other.

well done!
been meaning to take some scorp shots of my own, its been a long time... course, i don't have the 300+ collection like i used to have...

[Bald Eagle]

WOW, Very impressive work on these images, Extremely sharp quality.

Great series, I like all of them, very ugly face of scorpion, never seen one at more than 1:1. I like how it's sharp, and the great colors of that scorpion.

Congrats,
Laurent.

do they eat the roaches I can see in the last image?

Oh Man, you stole my thunder! My goal was to macro shoot a scorp. Looks like I have some work to do. These images are amazing. I used to keep scorpions and always thought that the tiny pincers mounted up front were pretty cool. One more thing, put a black light over them and check out their color.

Well Done!

Very cool. I have never seen one so close and with the eye and mouth detail. I hope I never get so close to one too! :)
