Black Emperor Scorpion

The emperor scorpion, Pandinus imperator, is a species of scorpion native to rainforests and savannas in West Africa. Is one of the largest species of scorpion in the world, with adults averaging about 20 centimetres (7. 9 in) in length and a weight of 30 g. The large pincers are blackish-red and have a granular texture. The front part of the body, or prosoma, is made up of four sections, each with a pair of legs. Behind the fourth pair of legs are comb-like structures known as pectines, which tend to be longer in males than in females. The tail, known as the metasoma, is long and curves back over the body. It ends in the large receptacle containing the venom glands and is tipped with a sharp, curved stinger. This is my favorite insect it is also my zodiac sign, have fun Trailmakers! #InsectsChallenge
