Nice to have you contributing. Like the shots of the scorpions. You seem to have a bit of dirt on your sensor (check #4).
Keep posting.

Welcome to POTN, good set of shots, especially that last one, quite like that. You'll probably like some of macro_junkies shots, since he specialises on his pet mantids!

I had a pet scorpion
Easy critters to keep
Nice shots

Thanx! :D

Not all scorpions are easy to keep. I had some real hard ones, like Centruroides sculpturatus. the humidity should be on 35-45% at all times, and that can be hard :P
Anyways, most of them are easy, i had like 90 scorps to now, and soon getting more.
