Above is a photo of Diplocentrus williamsi, a rarely seen scorpion found in Sonora, Mexico. This scorpion species and a few others are the only scorpions of the family Scorpionidae found in North America. They are found in remote areas, which is why these scorpions are rarely seen. A close relative is the Emperor Scorpion, the scorpion found for sale in many pet shops. I am fortunate to have available pics of these uncommon Sonoran Scorpions.
