| at a guess, the middle is P imperator, though it's hard to tell, it may be a Heterometrus, and the third might be Androctonus or Parabuthus. no idea as to the top, but i need it!!! edit: the more i look at the middle one, the more it reminds me of my H cyaneus...not cause of the blue mind. but that could be way off! | |

| First is a Hadrurus sp. photographed under just the right light to make it look more awesome than it really is . . . it's come up before.
Second is a Heterometrsu sp., probably H. spinifer, photographed with a flash that had enough UV in it to make it come out green (same effect as natural sunlight).
Third is Androctonus crassicauda, NOT for a beginner.
When you're starting in the hobby, the absolute worst way to go about picking your first scorpion is choosing the one that looks the prettiest. | |

| surely that Hadrurus spp couldn't look that much worse in normal light?! | |
