Its large size allows it to feed readily on other scorpions and a variety of other prey , including lizards and snakes. This species is usually yellow with a dark top and lobster-like pincers. It gets its common name from the brown hairs that cover its body, these hairs help it to detect vibration in the soil. A similar species is Hadrurus spadix. |
