Common Name: Bark Scorpion
Scientific Name: Liocheles species (presumptive ID)
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Chelicerata
Class: Arachnida
Subclass: Dromopoda
Order: Scorpiones
Family: Liochelidae
Distribution: Under this rock, SE queensland.
Habitat: Lives under rocks in forested areas.
Field notes: Small sting, white tipped tail, like rainforest scorpion L. waigiensis but less robust pincers. A good reason to empty shoes carefully in the morning. Australian scorpions have not been recorded as causing serious envonomations, likely not dangerous.
