Giant Desert Hairy Scorpion

From Judy Hedding, About.com

The Arizona bark scorpion is not the only scorpion in Phoenix. The giant desert hairy scorpion is also found in Arizona's deserts.

The giant desert hairy scorpion is four to six inches long and is the largest scorpion in North America. It is venomous, but its sting is not as dangerous as the bark scorpion's. Here you can see the side view, as well as the view from overhead.
If you have taken a photo of an Arizona scorpion (or your hand or foot after having been stung by a scorpion) and you'd like to submit the picture to this photo gallery, here's how you do it.
