Yes indeed
Good find Daniel, and good ID, Andrew! What I'd really like to see from Key West is C. guanensis. Looks a lot like C. hentzi but I think a bit more pale.

moving to scorpion
Our scorpion expert will see it where I just moved the pics. I'm pretty sure about the ID, but best for him to confirm.
