| Ras, it's also a question for the "sexing species" section. Thread moved. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

| Also, if by "infant," you mean it's a fairly early instar, it may be more difficult to sex. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blog Be nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

Yes, much like this line:
"Q: How do I know if my Emperor is a male or female?
A: You can tell by the size of the pectines(the feather looking things). The males would be much thicker and longer than female’s pectines. You can also tell by the shape of the Genital Operculum. The males have an oval shaped Operculum and the females are more rectangular. Here is a link to one of my sexing pictures http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/cyris69/Sexing.jpg?t=1198270713"
Taken from here: Frequently Asked Questions about Emperor Scorpions (P. Imperator)
But that is neither here nor there |

| During an insect exhibition an elderly lady asked the same question regarding scorpions to which my shrewd friend replied: -
"In females the mouthparts are bigger, the brains are smaller... and they can't drive."
This sexist statement does not represent any sentiment of mine, but I still find it darn hilarious!
