Lychas Tricarinatus - Three-keeled Bark Scorpion - Animal India
A Lychas tricarinatus, or Three-keeled Bark Scorpion, is attempted to be removed with a broom after entering a house at night in Tehatta, Nadia, West Bengal, India, on March 15, 2026. This species is known for its cryptic appearance, widespread distribution, and ability to reproduce through parthenogenesis. It plays an important ecological role as a predator and its venom has potential for research into antimicrobial and insecticidal compounds. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
