Researchers have identified a new species of scorpion in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi.

 

The find was made by a team which included Mr. Wasin Nawanetiwong, a student from the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nattapoj Vajarasathira.

 

The newly discovered species, named Scorpiops (Euscorpiops) krachan in honor of its type locality, was uncovered during a wildlife survey conducted in November 2022.

 

The research findings were published on March 6 in the peer-reviewed journal ZooKeys, detailing the characteristics and habitat of the Kaeng Krachan scorpion.

I wouldn't worry too much, it's endemic to a very specific forest area in Phetchaburi. The chances of seeing one and getting stung would be infinitesimal.

Ok, can you let them find it first and register. As they say it´s a new type, and there is yet no info about that. 

But, please! Just call and say you want a shot, then later you can us all, or not. Not to worry, we will still know..
