[QUOTE="brancsikia339, post: 259288, member: 6219"] I haven't been on in a while so i thought I'd post a recent experiment I tried out. I decided to test the venom of two well-known harmless scorpions, [I]Hadogenes troglodytes[/I] and [I]Pandinus sp. [/I](Candidates for an i.d. for this one include cavimanus, awashensis and imperator) on adult female feeder crickets. I set a timer and kept a notebook with me and took notes while the venom took effect. It was very interesting to see how the venom reacted in the crickets. This experiment took a half hour to conduct. I will note that the two [I]Pandinus[/I] i have are very small, most likely 4th instar. My hypothesis was that the venom of the [I]Pandinus sp.[/I] would work much faster than the [I]Hadogenes[/I], which was correct in the end. I'll let you know it was very difficult to get a [I]Hadogenes[/I] to sting, they'd rather pinch you to death! Here is a short Data table of my findings [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KiqfzXG.png[/IMG] Let me know what you think, Thanks! ~Andrew [/QUOTE]
