Black forest scorpion! Heterometrus laoticus to be exact. Indeed a true Arthropod Cutie! These critters are approximately 7 inches long from pinchers to tail!
Encased in a black plastic float frame with elasticity film which allows you to easily see both sides of your baby. The plastic film allows you to better see the physical characteristics of your critter while keeping them safe. You can open the frame but it will probably damage your new insect friend.
The frame is 9.6 x 3.6 x 0.8 inches

Scorpions are arthropods, they have eight legs, two pedipalps, and a tail with a venom-injecting barb. Scorpions have two venom glands that produce venom used in hunting and self-defense. They do not have bones instead they have an exoskeleton made of chitin, which is similar to the shell of a shrimp.
A great addition to any cabinet of curiosities or classroom educational tool!
The critter pictured is an example of what you will be receiving. No worries, they are all about the same and super lovely.
