Tityus asthenes - UV light - portrait, Sani Lodge, Ecuador A decent-sized beautiful scorpion, like a compact tank. As per usual, I&#039;ve assessed its danger only months after the event. The description that its venomous but not aggressive matches our experience though.

    This is just downright scary looking. It's black, has large pinchers, legs are spiky and angular plus I know scorpions have venom. I'm happy to look at this one from a photo or from a distance. Posted 3 years ago
