Scorpion in the Tucson Mountains - Paravaejovis spinigerus
Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, USA
May 20, 2013
Size: 5-6cm
Apologize for the poor quality (relying on autofocus/flash in the dark: spotted him with UV flashlight). We tried to ID him against a list of common AZ scorpions, but nothing seemed quite right. Then came across this interesting image which seemed to be a closer fit than the others:

I don't know how much color/pattern range they have: I include the second (even worse) picture to give a better idea of the color (the first is a little washed out).
