Yellow Scorpion
Description[edit source]
Adult specimens typically measure between 5–7 cm (2–3 in) in length.[3] As suggested by its common name, coloration consists of pale-yellow legs (8 in total) and pedipalps, with a darker shade of yellowish brown on the trunk, fingers, and tip of the tail.[3] Like other members of the family Buthidae, T. serrulatus has a bulbous tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back, which is segmented, with prominent ridges and serrations.[3] The tail is tipped with a venom-injecting barb capable of immobilizing prey or delivering defensive strikes.
