My version of Halo's own epic Scorpion tank. I tried to squeeze in as much detail as I could but still retain functionality, so the turret rotates and the gun rotates in it's socket. Naturally the treads feature independent suspension, and also I added the disk that's underneath the turret, but what's cool is that it actually extends into the base so that even if you rotate the turret up it still wont come completely out. One more thing you may notice is it's a-symmetry, and I don't mean as in the little details, but in the general shape. Here's is what I learned from my pictures, which were all of the Halo 3 scorpion: on the left side of the tank, the sides are more sharply angled, and when it widens in the back in sharply angles out, while on the right side, the side in front is completely flat, and when it widens, it does so progressively and almost curves.
Urodacus planimanus under a rock.
Check out that stinger with the sensitive hairs.
She wasn't too worried about us and no droplets of venom there.

Behold! My latest custom creation for the Scorpion. The next step towards the Sinister Six.
This proved to be quite the challenge compared to Lego's design and other fellow figglers. I used several inspired concepts from some comic books and video games to form this villain.
After a couple trial and errors, I chose this helmet. The chin strap kind of had a resemblance to the mandibles of the arachnid, in a high techy kind of way.
It's almost finished. I'm painting the helmet and the claws to match up with the suit. The tail may also get some tweaking as far as the tip is concerned. I'm super pleased with how this is turning out.
Any feedback is welcome!
Enjoy!

I decided to visit Scorpi Boi today.
He has grown and looks well fed. Still Not the most attractive fella but neither would you be if you lived under a log.
I ordered a faster card a while back and today I got to give it a run now I am spoiled and not hitting the buffer limit at the 50 odd image stage which explains the amount of images included in this focus stack .

Have a nice day
Scorpion Fish - the photo of this prickly fella was taken on my last diving expedition in Myanmar; these venomous fish normally blend into their surroundings waiting to attack, so from a photographic perspective, to capture one with its head away from the reef was a real treat.

Made some major updates to my scorpion
-shortened the body and front pods by 2 studs
-raised the turret a plate
-added the forward lights
-new details around the barrel
Whip scorpions are nocturnal in habits and feed mainly on insects like grasshoppers and cockroaches, and they also eat slugs and worms. They seize the prey in between their two pedipalps and crush them between their special teeth on the inner part of the trochanters (leg's second segment) of their front legs. During the day they conceal themselves in damp places, under stones, fallen logs, bark of trees and crevices.
Panorpa communis
Male Scorpion Fly. A dangerous time for this fella unless he presents his female with dead insects or a mass of saliva to pacify her. Looks like he's in for a rough night!
This Common Striped Bark Scorpion was taking advantage of lights at Cheyenne Mountain State Park to catch some moths.
Cercophonius Squama
Order: Scorpiones
This scorpion wandered into our kitchen, probably hitching a ride on a piece of firewood.
I detained it for a little while to have its portrait taken before releasing it back into the garden.
They live on a diet of small insects such as termites. and are not considered dangerous to humans, though they can give a painful sting.
I had thought this was a Marbled Scorpion but I have been advised that it is in fact a Wood Scorpion as indicated by the larger manus (claws) and metasoma (tail).
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
This scorpion was running across the floor late last night when I dispatched it with a slipper. If I'd seen it outside I would have let it go.
Lighting: I placed it on a piece of black Perspex and lit it with a Yongnuo flash in a gridded softbox at camera left. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera right. The strobe and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
This strange looking insect is neither a scorpion or a fly and is completely harmless. It scavenges around in the undergrowth looking for dead insects to feed on. Seen in Dunwich, Suffolk.

There are a number of features in the sky you can observe in this shot:
> in the Milky Way by hydrogen glowing Lagoon, Trifid, Omega and Eagle Nebula.
> the Scorpion head / Rho Ophiuchi region with the yellow reflexion nebula around Antares, the star cluster M4 and above upside down the Blue Horsehead.

A female scorpion fly shot on a macro safari this afternoon. Luckily she moved to a nice spot I could not get closer.
This creation was inspired by Nick Trotta’s (www.flickr.com/photos/tardisblue/) mind blowing starfighters, and is an entry into the Mystery Bag category of the 2016 MOCAthalon.
For the category I had 5 parts that I had to include in the build: Plate 1×2 with Door Rail, Barb Large Flexible, Brick 1×1 with Headlight, Plate with Angular Extension, and the Scorpion. I’d been wanting to do a star-fighter for a while and given the required parts selection, a star-fighter in the shape of a scorpion seemed like the obvious choice.

The Scorpion is a small vehicle driven by the reckless. Useful for offroad, shooting things and falling over.
Arachnura higginsi. The coomon name is due to its tail, which looks somewhat similar to that of a scorpion.
My version of Halo's own epic Scorpion tank. I tried to squeeze in as much detail as I could but still retain functionality, so the turret rotates and the gun rotates in it's socket. Naturally the treads feature independent suspension, and also I added the disk that's underneath the turret, but what's cool is that it actually extends into the base so that even if you rotate the turret up it still wont come completely out. One more thing you may notice is it's a-symmetry, and I don't mean as in the little details, but in the general shape. Here's is what I learned from my pictures, which were all of the Halo 3 scorpion: on the left side of the tank, the sides are more sharply angled, and when it widens in the back in sharply angles out, while on the right side, the side in front is completely flat, and when it widens, it does so progressively and almost curves.

Panorpa communis, female, not sure but think it is eating a ladybird pupa.
"Description. Wingspan approx 35 mm. The scorpion-like tail is only seen in the male and is in fact its genitalia - and doesn't sting! There are three Panorpa species in Britain and all require close examination with a microscope or good hand lens to distinguish them. In males this involves looking at the ventral surface of the genital capsule and in females the ovipositor. A good close up photo of the male is often enough to see the hypovalves on top of the genital capsule.
"Similar Species. P. germanica has thickened parallel hypovalves on male genital capsule, which are calliper shaped in P. communis.
"Identification difficulty. Requires detailed examination to identify and/or scarce.
"Recording advice. Females need to be examined with a microscope. Males can be identified from a good view of the hypovalves on the genital capsule.
"Habitat. Hedgerows, Nettle beds and well wooded areas.
"When to see it. May to September.
"Life History. They feed mostly on dead insects, which they frequently steal from the webs of spiders. Mating usually occurs at night. It can be a dangerous time for the male, if he is not careful the female might decide to kill him! To avoid this he presents her with a gift of a drop of saliva which, it seems, in the world of scorpion flies, is the equivalent of a bunch of roses or a box of chocolates.
"UK Status. This is the most common and widespread Scorpion fly in Britain, but with few records from northern Scotland."
