Hi,
I live in Edenvale South Africa and this is the 5th scorpion we found in our house. I stepped on one (I think its the same one on the photo) about two years ago and it burnt like hell but I managed to sort it out with a bit of aloe.
I found this little dude (a baby one) in my drawer this morning – would love to know more about them.

Dear MaddyZA,
This is one of the most beautiful Scorpions we have ever seen. We will attempt to identify it tomorrow.
What's That Bug? does not endorse extermination
Hi,
We have found two baby scorpians that look exactly like that in the last week.
How can one deter them from your property? We have two small dogs and I don’t want them to get stung.
Thanks
We have no suggestions for deterring scorpions, but perhaps one of our readers will have some ideas.
I live in Northcliff, South Africa. And I think this is the exact same scorpion which just stung me tonight on my hip. Think it might have been in my clothes. Anyway, it was a very sharp burning pain which didnt seem to have lasted too long. I am just wondering if anyone has identified this scorpion as yet? Thanks.
I have just found one in my laundry, does anyone know what it is yet?
Hi,
Anymore news on this scorpion? Found one dead when we renovated the house, another alive in the passage on the ceiling?
Little Falls.
