Geocache Description:

This is a somewhat large cache located off Bay Area Blvd on W Texas Ave near Webster. You can park in the lot across the street. Watch for cars as you cross the street.


The emperor scorpion is one of the largest species of scorpion in the world, with adults averaging about 8 inches in length.  The one that you are looking for is even larger.  The front part of the body is made up of four sections, each with a pair of legs. Behind the fourth pair of legs are comb-like structures known as pectines, which tend to be longer in males than in females. The tail is long and curves back over the body. It ends in the large receptacle containing the venom glands and is tipped with a sharp, curved stinger. The stinger on this scorpoin is red.
