When a UV light is shone on them they appear blue.

I've never seen a black one before. Excellent capture. Perhaps if you would hold your finger beside it we would have a reference for it's size!

Guyserman: if you google "large black scorpion" you'll find all you want to know. Basically the large male can be as long as 9". Luckily humans do not usually react to the venom they inject (unless you're stung by an adolescent large black scorpion - they tend to get a little excited.

Thanks Gary. Probably not as sharp as the sting in his tail.
