and
the hand picture was mainly for size reference, to see how big this scorpion really is. not for any 'wow' factor b/c with this species there isn't any.

Isn't it maybe a little irresponsible
to post photos of someone holding a scorpion in his hand? This site is available to anyone, and I can imagine a youngster being naive enough to think that doing so is cool!

well
maybe if the venom was bad ;)

the only damage that might be done is from the stinger itself (which really isn't that big). venom is naught but a bee sting.
