Lychas buchari
A small buthid scorpion, similar in many respects to members of Isometroides and also Hemilychas. The specimen pictured was found at Lake Hart, in South Australia's mid-north. These scorpions come out on hot summer nights to actively roam about the sand dunes surrounding the various dry salt lakes. Buthids often carry a potent toxin and great care should be taken if these scorpions are ever handled.
