You have some awesome species on your hands!!:clap: :worship: !! I hope you breed those and keep them around so us more unlucky people can get these one day!!! How many of each do you have and what sex are they?? The ones in the pics look like males to me.Do you have any females..

Hi,
the first one is no P. liosoma. This species does not exist in Namibia. It maybe a Parabuthus laevifrons. The second one is a Parabuthus granulatus and the last
ones are probably one pair of Parabuthus capensis. So I have answered the question whether I have females. I will get more of those of course.

I wouldn't think a species was described based on color, Mark . . . I was just thinking that the coloration of that species was very distinct (all yellow, save for two metasomal segments and the telson being black), and it didn't occur to me that any other species would have those particular markings.

Now I feel all embarrased and noobish. :8o
