It is hard to judge the size of this scorpion in my photo but there was no way I was going put my hand near this jar. This scorpion was found on the steps of the doorway to the restaurant of the lodge that we were staying at. The locals used a pair of pilers to pick him up and place him into this jar so we could all have a look at him. He was actually pretty big.
Much bigger than I imagined. He was also very pissed off as you can imagine so he kept hitting the sides of the jar. It was a bit of a reality check for me as I realized that I need to start looking down on the ground when I am walking. I also probably need to start banging out my shoes before I put them on too. Note to self - there are scorpions in Borneo!!! This guy was the size of a LARGE tea cup.
