Black hairy thick-tailed scorpion (Parabuthus villosus)

We think we have just identified this scorpion which we took 6 years ago in Namibia - I found it just about to climb on to my sandal!  It has just been featured on the channel 5 programme Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan and is the deadliest Scorpion in Southern Africa and apparently could kill a child/elderly person.  I remember at the time Wayne telling me not to worry as the bigger a Scorpion is the least dangerous it is!
