Recently molted Vaejovis species leaving its burrow.

In the above picture the recently molted scorpion (probably Vaejovis species) climbed out of its burrow. In the burrow itself you can see its recently cast off skin (exuvia). The scorpion will get a darker, more yellowish, color soon when its exoskeleton hardens out.

This photo gallery is part of The volcano, which has more related photos (habitat, more scorpions).
