Latest additions - M.Martensii and Iurus Dufoureius

Mesobuthus Martensii












Iurus Dufoureius Asiaticus:

Sweet pics bro. Especially so for Iurus Dufoureius Asiaticus

+1 must have missed these beauties! Wish I could keep Mesobuthus and I think I'll keep my eye out for Iurus but I won't hold my breath Just read martensii are from Turkey, damn I could have seen me some of these in the wild.

Iurus is from Turkey, hopefully next weekend I will get my second one. Has ordered 2 through a friend, as they didn't arrive on time, he gave me his. This one is still small, maybe 2i or 3i. All I know really, is that they are the scorplings of a WC gravid female. As the brood was around 30, this guy is now selling the female and most of the scorplings.

There's not much info around about this species, but from what I've read, it's not the most common species to spot even in the wild.

Great pics

Ah right, don't know where I got that from then, only done a quick search. Nice species all the same.

Bex, wasn't this the species with the first bugs magazine?

Not sure now tbh did it amsay on the mag I still have it somewhere

Just found the mag, yeah it is M. martensii, Manchurian Scorpion apparently. There you go, we already have this species

Oh yeah not from no where near Turkey

Yeah, not M.Martensii, but there are some cool Mesobuthus spp. in Greece and Turkey though. I'm hoping on getting my hands on a couple of M.Gibbosus at some time.
