A Kyiv woman took a photo of a scorpion in her flat

A Kyiv resident found a large scorpion in her flat. A photo of the find was published by a Kiev resident on Facebook.

Please tell me, there is such a miracle running at home. Who knows the species of this scorpion, where it could come from in the flat and what to do with it further? (Kyiv). I will be grateful for any answer, - wrote the author of the photo.

Users of social networks agreed that this is a species of scorpion Heterometrus.

Heterometrus (Latin) - a genus of large scorpions from the family Scorpionidae, popular for home breeding in terrariums.

Commenters speculated that the scorpion had escaped from someone's home terrarium. Some online users expressed the opinion that they themselves would have escaped from the flat, while others asked for the scorpion to be given to them.
