Male Scorpion Fly (Panorpa communis) exhibiting it's 'sting', much larger than a female's.
"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."
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.
A special thanks to Geoff Gallice for inviting me along to this very special place in a remote corner of Manu NP.

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.

Scorpion was quite fun to put together. Unfortunately he doesn't stand up very well due to his tail. I plan on giving him some claws(Hands of time pieces from Ninjago) as well.
This is a scorpion on display at the new butterfly exhibit at Thanksgiving Point. The scorpion was illuminated with UV or black light to produce the green fluorescent glow shown here. A natural and amazing light show.

Arachnura higginsi. The coomon name is due to its tail, which looks somewhat similar to that of a scorpion, and which can be arched over the head from behind, somewhat like a scorpion's attack position.

The Scorpion Mech-Loader is a competitor to the H-9, equally hard-wearing and heavily built. Unlike the H9's electromagnet, the mech is built with a manipulator arm to grab cargo and it's this arm which gives the vehicle it's name.
This image of Rho Ophiuchus/Antares region was imaged with a full spectrum modded Canon 40D DSLR and a Sigma 150mm prime lens on the 12th July 2018.
The total integration time was 2 hours of subs, 30 x 120 second, 45 x 60 second and 30 x 30 second subs at ISO800.

Projekt "Blacktron II Special Forces" Part 2 "MBT Scorpion II"
Yes, it is a slightly modified Halo Scorpion M808 B1. I wanted to recreate this tank since long. All previous models of this tank that I have seen, are not accurate enough for me. So I've been thinking long, and have come to the conclusion that in relation to a Minifig to double the size.Then I worked on self supporting chain runs very long. Because I did not like the bricks to hold the axes in addition to the running rollers and drive wheels of the chain. That takes some accuracy of detail in my eyes. So I have now managed by various techniques an accurate replica for me.It would be no reproduction ala Stephan Niehoff, if I had not made a few small changes. The turret I designed a little flatter, which looks more like a battle tank. And the cannon I've designed something spacey. Ohhh, of course, the MBT received a Blacktron II painting.
Details: The turret can be rotated 360 degrees, the gun barrel can be raised by 45 degrees, the chain runs can be rotated 360 degrees, and the chains work.
The Blacktron engineers created this tank based on the model of a series of games. They play this game with great enthusiasm. But they had to expand the dimensions to carry enough ammunition and hightech with. Because this destruction machine has a 160 mm cannon, which is why the turret was flat, to compensate for the enormous blowback.The 160 mm projectiles are fired by inductive voltage. And can hit a target up to 40 KM. This makes the bullets a little smaller because no propellant is required. The energy for the weapon and the drive provides a fusion reactor. So that no fuel is needed and a nearly unlimited range guaranteed. The secondary weapon is a high speed plasma machine gun, no ammunition unlimited number of shots.A neuroimplant of the second generation allows that one crew member is sufficient to perform all the functions of the tank.
The combat weight is the only weak point, with 125 tons of these MBT it is not suitable for all terrain. Each MBT is supported by Blacktron II infantry units. (Often elite infantry of the CS series). And drones of the SkyEye series. OohRah

7418: Scorpion Palace
So I had a bit of free time and wanted to wrap up the India set series before the big move. Meaning I can start fresh on the Himalayas once I've moved into my new place.
There was quite a bit if research into Indian palace architecture with this one. And I wanted to add more details than the original set. There's a small shrine, and a room with some plush details.
Due to part limitations on mecabricks I was a bit stumped on how to design the main dome and the boulder. Enter the Lowell sphere: a clever brick built sphere design that's very useful.
The booby trap mechanism should hypothetically work. It's a more decorative design of the original. You just pull a lever on the side and it rolls down
The design for the Scorpion you can see more clearly in a previous post of mine.
Fluorescent compounds in the exoskeletion of scorpion are responsible for this phenomenon but there is not concrete evidence as to why scorpions need to glow under UV light.
There are various theories put forth by researchers but none are conclusive!! bio-luminescence
Finally I am able to upload something again! It feels like ages, but that's probably because of the time I put into this build. This is a remake of set 5918 Scorpion Tracker from 1918. I tried to add a lot of details that are missing in the original set. You could say the Adventures theme is my favorite although it was before my time. Anyway, the struggle was worth it and I'm very happy with the finished product.
Les Scorpions (nom scientifique : Scorpiones) sont un ordre d'arthropodes, de la classe des arachnides. Ils se distinguent des autres arachnides par leurs pédipalpes développés en pinces et par l'aiguillon venimeux qu'ils portent à l'extrémité distale de leur abdomen. On en connaissait environ 1 750 espèces en 2009, et 2 200 en 2018.
L'intérêt populaire porté aux scorpions repose sur leur réputation de prédateur et sur le fait que 40 à 50 espèces ont un venin potentiellement mortel pour l'homme. Ils jouent cependant un rôle important dans la dynamique des populations d'insectes et la biodiversité.

This West African buthid scorpion (ID: ...; Buthidae) comes from the woodlands near Monts-Kouffé in Bénin (West-Africa, Wari-Maro village, June 1997). Found it in a pitfall trap (open arid area). Preserved it in ethanol for a month, then for about 18 years in a dry collection.
Studio work. Cleaned, rehydrated and staged specimen, illustrating defensive posture.
Focus stack based on 137 images, assembled in Zerene Stacker (Pmax). Canon 5D mkii, EF 100mm macro 1:2.8 USM, ISO-100, f/4, -0.3step, 1/160s, natural light combined with strong daylight led, diffused with tracing paper.
Buthus occitanus,
These were the highlight of my trip, I had never seen wild scorpions before but I found several here. I have heard before that generally the rule of thumb is the smaller the pincers and the bigger the sting means stronger venom so I wasn't getting too close to these just in case!!
