Febbraio 2024, scatto singolo. Quando dopo x chilometri in montagna pensate che un tronco a terra sia un ottimo sedile per riposare, ricordate che state per mettervi sopra un condominio di creature brulicanti. ^_^

Scorpions under the bark of fallen trees are a classic, they find shelter and prey there, but Elaterids also abound there. The one above is in fact a Lacon punctatus and as typical of click beetles, it does the kip-up of Bruce Lee. :-)

A defensive mechanism that surprises both the predator and the photographer. :-) A few days ago a specimen of which I made a close-up (if they feel in danger they remain still and rigid) did it before my eyes.

Beautiful shot, nature hides everywhere.
Then it's not easy to find a scorpion in February!

It is probably a Euscorpius concinnus, considering the wooded environment. Like other Italian scorpions, it is a very shy creature. :)
