Description
Despite its menacing appearance, members of the genus Centruroides are often misunderstood. Commonly associated with fatal venom, most species under Centruroides possess venom that is less toxic to humans than their reputation suggests. Intriguingly, their fluorescence under ultraviolet light is not just for show; it is thought to help them locate each other in the dark and deter predators. This biochemical marvel underpins both their survival strategy and their bewildering beauty in the nocturnal landscape.
