Centruroides vittatus communal! You can see the differences between the male (lighter color, longer tail) and the two females. The lightness isn't sexual dimorphism, I got him from a different seller so it's probably a regional differences. Centruroides vittatus in the Big Bend area in Texas are extremely pale colored and show none of the characteristic striping, so they're commonly mistaken for Centruroides sculpturatus.

bugs

You didn't specify so I'm talking about some arachnids Typopeltis crucifer: Typopeltis crucifer is commonly known as a whip scorpion or vinegaroons are not true scorpions and don't have stingers and instead use their pinchers to attack they also cannot bite and are an older species Centruroides vittatus: Centruroides vittatus also known as the striped bark scorpion or the texas common house scorpion is a smaller species of scorpion that as the name implies are a common household pest in texas and they have venom that although being a neurotoxin is harmless to humans only causing discomfort and some pain or itching (I have experience being stung by these btw) Phidippus audax: Phidippus audax is commonly known as a bold jumping spider are small jumping spiders with black bodies and white marking and interestingly enough iridescent fangs they are harmless and from experience make good pets they also have an excellent disposition being rather friendly and easily held they however do not live as long as other types of spider

but really!!!! zor is able to communicate with agent phoenix while time is slowed at the end of kboom in a way that neither prism nor handler can detect. almost as if they're communicating telepathically. you know who could communicate telepathically with somebody with a chunk of kinesium in their skull? somebody ELSE with a chunk of kinesium in their skull. zor has Agency field manuals and an Agency lighter in their cabin implying they're a former agent. Valeri's portrait is removed from the wall and hidden behind a plant as if they're disgraced from the Agency. Valeri's outfit is black and red. Zor's stylization is most commonly black and red. the phantom's emblem design looks like it contains two stylized Vs, one flipped upside-down. Juniper threatening to reveal Zor's true identity means they're somebody that either Phoenix, the Handler, or the Agency at large would be familiar with. the Phantom leaves Phoenix a message in a cipher previously known to be used only by Zoraxis employees. this cipher says "i expect you to live." Zor seems to have implicit faith that Phoenix will survive even the most destructive of scenarios. Zor says at the end of IEYTD2 that they'll contact Phoenix. Phoenix is never contacted by Zor in IEYTD3 but is contacted by the Phantom.

Zor is commonly associated with scorpions. the scientific name of the most common species of scorpion in North America is centruroides vittatus.

valeri vitti is the phantom and also is zor please just let the anton chekov in my heart have this one schell

Centruroides vittatus

Striped bark scorpion

Escorpión rayado de la corteza

6 of August 2022 — Jalisco, MX

Striped bark scorpion stings are painful but rarely deadly (as is in the case of an allergy, for example). However, the stings of other members of their genus can be very dangerous, so be careful out there :)

What a whimsical little friend <3 I love scorpions so much, they’re so cute.

My house is full of bugs today. The cats were real sad that I didn’t let them eat the scorpion. I put him outside.

Drop out, I have no chance against this angel

Subadult Centruroides vittatus molted, and he's a male! Once he's hardened up and eaten I'll put him in the larger communal with my two females, I was worried about them eating him while he was molting.

The wink of The Striped Bark Scorpion. Centruroides vittatus

[archtangential]

Bark Scorpion, Centruroides vittatus, w/ tick(orange spot 2nd thoracic segment caudally) (Both of these are arachnids. Call that irony if you insist, but I'd disagree) Idk why but a lot of arthropods I've been seeing lately have had more and more ticks/mites on them. Could this be the work of the liberal elite?? The globalists?? Or is nature just kindve an uncomfortable hellscape? #scorpion
