I found a scorpion in my house, it's about 2-3 cm (1 inch)....there are no scorpions living in the wild in my country, nomally anyway....so I'm not sure which country this thing is from any ideas? (this is not the one I found, but one that is looking exactly like it (found in a house very close to mine, pretty much the same story :-/ )

Western Europe, but like I said, this one must have come here with the suitcase of one of my neighbors. people travel, so the continent this thing came from cannot be guessed. Btw, why not Australia?

https://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-files/european_scorp.php It looks a lot like other members of Euscorpius to me, there are a lot of species and only some are photographed, you'd probably have to know somebody in the area. From what I could find, there are plenty of scorpion species in western europe, you're probably just not looking where they can be found. I would bet it's native to your country (or from an adjacent country) Mirthless fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Feb 5, 2017 |

It's similar to Urodacus Macrurus but the claws are wrong.

as a scorpion expert (graduated 2008) and based on the picture, it appears to be offering you a classic scorpion mating dance. have you reciprocated? can't help without further mating information.
