I need an expert. Can anyone tell me what sex this scorpion is?
>>
>>2007905
From the markings on its belly, and the size of the sting, I can tell you its a ruthless killing machine and I used to catch these all the time out behind my grandmas house, but I dont know anything else about scorpions.
Bees of the sand.

It is C. vittatus if that helps.
>>
please look up what determines the breed in a scorpion.

then think if you are able to picture the parts of the scorpion needed to identify its sex
>>
I think it's a female.
>>
>>2008052
I already did that. Hence why a posted a picture of its underside. I don't need someone to tell me to go use Google. I need someone who knows a thing or two about scorpions.
>>
>>2008061
That's the direction I was leaning also because of the shape of the pectines. But it still seems hard to tell between sexes.
>>
>>2008069
You can also tell by the length of the tail.
>>
>>2008064

there are more exact ways to detemine the sex. cunt
>>
>>2008075
Would you care to elaborate? Or are you just going to be a worthless piece of shit?
>>
>>2008086

you can count the pectines if you are able to make a good picture or a look up close.
>>
>>2008100

also metasomal segments of males are much longer and thinner than the females (the tail)

also doubting the pectines, since they can be really different depending on location.

if you can find another scorpion you can compare? assuming you found it since it very common species
>>
>>2008106

sorry for lacking information and words of mine about the pectines, but i think this will really help you

Don't force gender roles on it - let it choose, you shitlord.

everytime I scroll the board and see the thumbnail i think it's a dog's backside.
