| Brown Bark Scorpion, known locally as Common Scorpion Centruroides gracilis |
A blog to publish the findings of our backyard trap (lovingly built by my father and brother) here in sunny and relatively unstudied Grand Cayman. Who knows, maybe one or two can be identified...

Another creature of the night
Unfortunately for this malevolent looking thing, my love of creatures great and small does not extend to scorpions. This one was found creeping down behind my drainpipe outside and was promptly dispatched with a spatula (now broken). I'm a bit sorry since he was probably just trying to rid the area of cockroaches but he did have a nasty looking stinger (pre-spatula) and I firmly believe in prevention rather than cure when it comes to scorpion infestations. Also, he might have eaten my moths!
