There are at least 100 species of scorpions in the United States;
more than half of them are found in California, 59 species.
California has the second largest number of species of Scorpions, only surpassed by Arizona. The same varied
climate and diversity of habitats that draws millions of people, to California, is the reason for this biodiversity.
We at Arizona Scorpion World are providing photos and information on scorpions from the entire USA.
Here you will find photos of 58 different California Scorpions.
Click on "California Scorpions" below, to see photos of California Scorpions.
Scorpions have their place in the scheme of things that has nothing
to do with stinging people.
Scorpions are among the world's oldest land invertebrates. Scorpions do a great job of
keeping insect populations in check.
