Was feeding my various animals yesterday when I looked at my stripe-tailed scorpion (Hoffmannius spinigerus = Vaejovis spinigerus) and lo and behold she had a whole bunch of babies on her back. I didn't even realize she was pregnant, although she was fattening up nicely. Can't count them all, but it looks like over 50 of them!

Ahhh! I have a phobia of scorpions, and now I'm scared to put my feet on the floor... nevertheless, great shot!
