(Heterometrus longimanus, of the family Scorpionidae)
Background
Thata/Karachi: The Hetrometrus (Black
scorpions) now considered being on the most dangerous anthropods creature in the
country, There was a dark time period in the past when people saw this creature
in their surroundings, they usually killed them on the spot. But I guess time
never stay same for everyone, now if people of sindh find black scorpion weight
40-70 grams above in their fields or streets, abandoned places now they prefer
to caught them alive.
According to our source the sindh
black market trade of black and yellow scorpions is at peak. Catching a scorpion
is not an easy task however people of sindh are now not afraid of catching these
beautiful creatures. When the sun set in sindh the hunters come out with their
ultra violet torches, because scorpions shine green or blue in the Ultra violet
light and they can be easily identified in bushes of under the rocks or stones.
People in the costal-belt of sindh still do it to get good money or some time
earn lottery money, because weighing 60 grams can fetch at least $50,000.
PRICING
If your scorpion is
50-60 grams then it can fetch eye raising figures within a seconds because of
their huge demand globally, and if some how you got scorpion weighing 100grams,
is literally worth more than its weight in
gold, diamonds.
Hunters
People who hunt
scorpions they leave their house after sun set in search of black sand, in the
search of scorpions it can take 6-8 hours in the search, according to the one
hunter ‘’M’’ he said hunting is fun going out in desert of forests because in
return we earn good amount of money. And he also confirmed that it not a one
man show, it’s a team work they used to go on hunt in the shape of teams.
Their main source of
finding a scorpions is ultra violet torch light which helps to find this
beautiful creature, they shine blue or green in the light of UV, below you can
see in the picture scorpion is shinning bright in the darkness, because of
ultra violet light.
Now in sindh when
father go out for hunt, children pray to God please provide big black scorpion
to my father, but now question which raise over here, if people keep on hunting
this creature is it good ? are they destroying this creature, because if they
on doing this trafficking that day is not so far when it will be extinct from
motherland.
According to our
resources most of the politicians also invested heavy amount of money in this
business, farmers are also in this business, and the buyers of Swedish,
America, Australian and
