Hey guys,
I was walking back to the clinic today after lunch when I saw something cross over the sidewalk ahead of me. I went in for a closer look and saw that it was a Black, Fat-tailed Scorpion.
They are pretty big in these parts. This one measured up close to five inches.
I got this picture of him just as he was getting ready to strike the bottle we had him covered up with earlier. Pretty neat.
I thought I would share some of the native Iraqi wildlife with all of you. Take care and if this gave you the "willies", sorry about that. David
