A detailed, top-down view of a scorpion is presented against a transparent background. The scorpion has a segmented body consisting of a cephalothorax (head and thorax fused) and an abdomen (opisthosoma). The cephalothorax is dark and bears a pair of prominent pedipalps modified into large, powerful pincers (chelae) with textured surfaces and sharp tips. Four pairs of segmented legs extend from the cephalothorax. The abdomen is elongated and segmented, transitioning into a metasoma (tail) that curves upwards and ends in a sharp stinger (telson). The scorpion's exoskeleton is a dark, glossy black or brownish-black color, with lighter brown or reddish-brown coloration on the legs and parts of the pedipalps. Small hairs or bristles are visible on its body and appendages.
