The
scorpions

Place:
Principal road 31 in the north of Ouarzazate (7
km approx.).
Scorpion
found : Buthus occitanus
Description :
It's at the crossing of 2 roads,
at 20 meters of the edge of this one, the scorpions
are found (blue arrows) under the large stones.
The ground was rather wet because it had rained
a little front. Without any possible protection,
this place is sunny morning at the evening, with
heats of more than 30°C. The ground consists
of a coarse sand with many stones of all sizes.
It's astonishing to find so close to the road,
a so great quantity of scorpion, but most astonishing
is that at the other side of this road, we can't
find any scorpion, and the ground seems exactly
similar...

At approximately 150 meters of the
roadside. This place is between the palm plantation
which borders Drâa and the road. This part
is at the very least arid and private of vegetable
life. Only the kind of bush, present on photography,
protects the ground from the sun. Three specimens

of potential prey was discovered during research,
exept some ants.
