The shy Northern scorpion (Paruroctonus boreus) has fascinated me for decades, but it is only now that I have the knowledge to find them. I first heard about them during the nineties, although I wondered if it was really true that scorpions could survive so far north. It is! In fact, the Northern scorpion's range stretches into Canada. They are considered difficult to find because they are shy and nocturnal. And it is very rare that anyone is stung by them.
