Scorpion???

[ghinksmon]

Has anyone seen the news on a new species of scorpion discovered in Israel? Does anyone else believe the photo is a crayfish and not a scorpion? (Link Below) Could it be a translation error?

I believe this is in the wrong forum, but besides that, if you click the second link under the "related" section, it shows the same organism and the comment to the right states that it is a blind crustacean.

That comment also goes into slightly more detail than what's written on the first page; i.e. the amount of new species found and that some are terrestrial and some are aquatic etc etc.

HTH,
