| Species: | Spider-hunting Scorpion (Isometroides sp)| This Photo: | 🔍Dorsal🔎 | Thank you Dr Erich Volschenk for identifying and Crowley Museum & Nature Center Inc. for helping with the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Riverland and possibly elsewhere ~12mm SVL Note the single pronged stinger. We thought this was Isometroides angusticaudus. Erich lifted it to genus saying "The distribution of the SA 'I. angusticaudus' is ~1500km from the type locality in Qld. Without more evidence, I'm very sceptical about these being the same species."
