Can anyone Id this little baby?

If that bad boy is still alive and you are sitting in Manchester, don't touch the f
ka and get some fire.
Is it hissing at you?
It is a Scouseburrowing Scorpion, fairly harmless but riled if provoked. Just check your car keys, as it's probably trying to get home.
It could of course be Isambard Kingdom Brunels envoy from the afterlife, just checking your engineering calculations

Yip, but I think s
Oh and if you want to find out how many more you have in the house, get an ultra violet light. All scorpions flouresce.

I once received a phone call from my wife informing me that, after I had left for work in the morning, she had been making the bed and found what we later discovered to be a Deathstalker under my pillow.
We had another in the house that a mate mistook for a curtain tie-back hook on the wall. How we laughed on the way to the hospital.
From the photo it looks like the claws are a bit fat for a Deathstalker and overall looks a bit big to be dangerous...

Yik. I think I would have polished its carapace with the heel of my shoe before I paused to take a picture.
It's the PH way. There's someone breaking into the house. Quick! To Pistonheads. They'll know what to do.
I'm being attacked by a brown bear wielding a Maglite. The good chaps on PH will have some sound advice on this deadly situation.

The smaller they are the more deadly they are as a rule so get rid of the little fecker.
flaw in theory is age of the critter.safer assumption: the darker they are, the less harmless; and the bigger the pincers, the less harmless.
He's light coloured with small pincers - I'd get rid!
Worth getting a UV light on him first though - I never realised they glowed until last week!

Are you sure? It's hasn't got a tracksuit or curly wig on?
