Scorpion with a snack.

Was up in the Sierra Nevadas and snapped a quick picture of this scorpion eating a wind scorpion. Was surprised to find these guys up in the 7600 feet altitude range.

that's a surprising find given that the primary food source of wind scorpions is scorpions. I guess that one was a little larger that he could handle.

As for the species, it sure looks like a vejovis. Not sure which one but not likely spinigerus. hard to tell from the resolution
