Yellow Scorpion (Buthus occitanus) top view This beautiful scorpion was hiding under a big stone. In an attempt to make him move to the top of the rock, to give me the opportunity to make a photograph of him, he managed to sting me in the top of my left ring finger. It hurt instantly as a hit with a hammer! Within minutes my left finger, after 1 hour my left hand and in 2 hours the pain reached my entire underarm. It hurt for 2 days. The fingertop was still sensitive after two weeks. Quite an experience!<br /> <br /> Other picture:<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/81176/yellow_scorpion_buthus_occitanus_front_view.html" title="Yellow Scorpion (Buthus occitanus) front view"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3446/81176_thumb.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=iDU1NDZ0hyQT5gS2NnloUhtEbWs%3D" width="132" height="152" alt="Yellow Scorpion (Buthus occitanus) front view This beautiful scorpion was hiding under a big stone.
