What kind of scorpion is this?

Question

Does an Arizona bark scorpion, which usually carries its tail held flat out to it's side, lift its tail above its back when threatened?

We get bark scorpions in our house with some frequency, and I am familiar with their appearance, but the other night I found a scorpion in my daughter's room that was on the large side and had its tail up over its back. Was this just a threatened bark scorpion, or a different species altogether?

Answer 1

It could be. ARIZONA BARK SCORPION can have its tail up over its back.
