Bark Scorpion (Centruroides limbatus)

Bark Scorpion (Centruroides limbatus: Bethidae) This large scorpion can reach lengths of 11 cm (4.3 in). It is no real threat to humans as long as one does not consider screaming like a baby child after being stung a threat. This guy hung out on a bridge wall where night lights shown. The bridge spanned Ro Guayabo in El Valle de Antn, Cocl Province, Panama. Riparian, surrounded by secondary humid forest at ca. 622 m (2,042 ft) elevation.

Another super closeup Stanley, plus a interesting story that goes with it. I still wouldn't one want to touch me, no matter what, big grin. I rather touch a snake than a bug.
