Great shots! Especially #2, sweet!

You have brought scorpion photography to a new level

What kind of black lighting are you using for the shots and the positioning of the light source?

im using a qusun fluorescent type UV light 6W. just positioned it on top of enclosure. its pretty cool as you can see they are quite different in color when in UV light.

yhanks guys sorry for the late reply!

1# is just wicked!

Wow those are stunning. Works of art.

So they're both under the same UV light, awesome, they look so different in colour

thanks guys. glad you like my work.

wow some fudging awesome pics there...im surprised the light didnt out them off though lol

What I find most interesting is the tip of the telson isn't covered with the same protein as the rest of the body. Things that make you go hmmmmmm!

Maybe to keep it hidden from predators or prey?

Amazingness
