Not The People That Dont Know The Scientific Name
I agree, but when this happens, I think we should do our best to try to figure what scorpion they are talking about, them help them with their problem or question, rather than going on about it...RyanC said:... Atleast if people are gonna use common names try not to make it so general such as gold scorpion, texas scorpion, rock scorpion, etc. It's always best to learn scientific names as people will know exactly what scorpion you are talking about.
so does it hurt to at least ask for a scientific name?? i dont think it does myselfJSN said:enough about the anti-common name mumbo jumbo, yes we should be using scientific names but some people dont care about em' and are asking us to help em' out with their scorpions...so we must try the best we can with the names they give us, unless ofcourse they have a picture or something, then we would automatically recognize it...its just really starting to bug me how people focus on that rather than helping people out...when he said "rock" scorpion, I assumed flat rock/hadodenes...his picture confirmed it, there ya go...
sorry for ranting, just had to get this off my chest...
I don't think it hurts to ask... but if someone has already asked do we need a couple more people asking as well? for that matter sometimes people just don't know the scientific name and can only go by what they are told is the common name.JungleGuts said:so does it hurt to at least ask for a scientific name?? i dont think it does myself
no, but if someone doesnt know the scientific name, then should we attack them rather then focus on answering their question?...your reply had no real point to it...JungleGuts said:so does it hurt to at least ask for a scientific name?? i dont think it does myself
:? :? :? i was stateing what i though on the matter and i have every right to do soJSN said:no, but if someone doesnt know the scientific name, then should we attack them rather then focus on answering their question?...your reply had no real point to it...
It looks very similar to Liocheles, and my logic is pointing to it being a member of this genus, first ynot is from Australia, which really narrows down the field of possible scorps.H. cyaneus said:I just relized that you're from Sydney, Australia. So, unless this scorpion was illegally imported, it can't be a Hadogenes. It might be a Liocheles, but it looks way too much like a Hadogenes.
