This scorpion is Centruroides vittatus. Mildly venomous, the sting can be very painful, but is not known to be deadly. If one gets stung by this one and has persistent symptoms, especially shortness of breath, then it might be a good idea to see a doctor, especially if you have allergic reactions to other stings/bites or respiratory problems.

Hi, did you find this scorpion in Texas? If so where in Texas? I have heard that the tree scorpion is one of the more toxic found in the US.
