| Er...sorry no. That's not a Centruroides exilicauda, it's probably a Vaejovis waeringi judging from the area it was found. | |

Good call, look at that bulbous, telson and metasoma segments. | |

| It does look more like Vaejovis waeringi. Is there a common name for that species as I can't seem to find one? | |

| Well seeing how common names are literally just names people make up, you can come up with your own.  Imagine if there was a common name for all 1,600 known species of scorpions...you'd hear "yellow scorpion" or "California gold scorpion" a myriad of times. Welcome to the world of arachnids! Where everyone is forced to learn binary names!  | |

| It's not waeringi, I know that. waeringi has much longer fingers on the chelae here's a waeringi I collected recently:  looks more like V. puritanus, which is a close relative of waeringi, and can be found in desert habitat, as well as coastal scrub/chaparral | |
