Light-Colored Scorpion - Paruroctonus silvestrii
Mount Tamalpais, Marin County, California, USA
April 22, 2008
Size: 5cm
I found this scorpion under a rock, and I'm pretty sure it's not the California Forest Scorpion, the species I normally find. Is it Paruroctonus silvestrii?

(Handling scorpions is not recommended)
