About Hadrurus spadix Stahnke, 1940
Hadrurus spadix (described by Stahnke in 1940) is a large burrowing scorpion native to the southern deserts of North America. It typically reaches around 15 centimeters, or 5.9 inches, in length. This scorpion spends a large amount of time digging in sand to enlarge its burrow. The giant desert hairy scorpion is a closely similar species to Hadrurus spadix.
