This scorpion of the genus Centruroides is found in Texas and Colorado. Centruroides vittatus are known as bark scorpions. This species is not considered medically significant. They are identified by their long thin pincers, long thin tail, and their habit of holding their tail laying on it's side when the animal is at rest. We are lucky to have a photo of this species of Texas and Colorado Scorpion thanks to Ryan.
