This small (approximately 1") scorpion was found on the side of the trail up Mount Elden in Flagstaff, Arizona at approximately 8000 feet elevation. This is the first scorpion I have seen in Flagstaff in the 30 years I have been looking here. Most people would think it was too cold here for scorpions in Flagstaff. SURPRISE!
This photo was taken on the morning of 23 May 2008. The habitat of these scorpions is in the center of
the pic, in the "White Out". Not what you would expect for your typical scorpion habitat?
