I absolutely adore small scorpion species. I have a bunch of them (T. flavicaudis, Chaerilus cimrmani, some general Chaerilus sp., Liocheles australasiae, Didymocentrus trinitarius) as well as some bigger species (Heterometrus sp., Pandipalpus viatoris, Hottentotta tamulus, Leiurus brachycentrus, Centruroides bicolor) and a lot of tarantulas plus a few reptiles. I really want to visit the UK to take a look at that invasive scorpion colony. We'll probably go next year :) It's definitely my favourite species due to its impressive adaptability, small stature, and feisty attitude :)
I do like these guys, I’ve been there a few times. Not an invasive species, though they are non-native. One of my females just had a bunch of babies this morning, and they’re definitely one of my favourite species.
I've wanted to keep one (or a few...dozen) since I found out about these for months and have been doing some planning and design here and there for a terrarium for them. Definitely oughtta visit Sheerness or somewhere near there for these and observe them in the wild as well. Nice vid, definitely helps me get an idea of what to do to accommodate these! If there're trains stations near there, I'll ride from Portsmouth! - Ash
How convenient that it's illegal to put scorpions of this invasive species back. "Whoops, I accidentally picked up that scorpion! Guess I'll HAVE to keep it as a pet now..." 🦂 ❤
It pulretty much is like that. I don't take them often, I'd rather just watch them but I wanted to take a couple for this video. I put a post on Facebook and some locals told me that they quite lolike having them around, they aren't bothered by them. Other people say their sting is like that of a bee.
At 5:25 how did the little scorpion end up in that strange position relative to the Steatoda? It seems that the spider is not wrapping it with silk, but that it has the last right leg attached to the claw of the euscorpius. What happened after?
They're from Europe, Spain, I believe. They're only small, but they're very active and have a sting like a bee. If you're ever down in Kent, I'll show you them.

That mature male spider you found was a segestria florentina. Tonnes of them in that area with their little tube webs.

Wait we have scorpion s here in uk
We do indeed, this is really the only place to find them though, they're really active, the colony is believed to be about 1500 specimens.
@@TarantulaDanMedia wow i didn't know that either but yeah can see why with how the humidity is getting in the UK over the past few years etc
Thats crazy. I didn't know we had scorpions. Where did they originate, seeing as they are invasive! Very cool though 😊
