In the night, some time after we had returned from our trip to Orizaba, I checked upon the scorpions I keep for study. After I had checked upon a few, I was thinking to make a joke to Esme, that another of the scorpions had babies. The first of April a recent purchase, an Emperor scorpion (Pandinus imperator), had given birth. But it was not needed to make a joke about it, because it was true...
The female scorpion was captured in our kitchen the first month of this year, the 12th of January to be precise. I wasn't aware that the scorpion was pregnant, so it was somewhat of a surprise.
I don't know when exactly the babies were born, since we left on Friday at the end of the day, and returned today in the evening.
