Real black forest scorpion! Heterometrus laoticus to be exact. Indeed a true Arthropod Cutie! These critters are approximately 7 inches long from pinchers to tail!
Mounted on a Vintage Zodiac Sign Reproduction Print from Urania’s Mirror Star Atlas. This artwork from "Urania’s Mirror - a View from the Heavens", a set of constellation cards first published by Samuel Leigh of the Strand, London, in November 1824 makes the perfect background for this pinchy critter.

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.
