Scorpion profiles follow the same editorial rules as the other animal groups: modern taxonomy is used, Georgia-specific data are checked separately, and local information is clearly separated from general species biology.
Regional distribution is also marked only from confirmed records. This page brings together all known scorpion species recorded in Georgia; each has a separate full profile based on reliable scientific sources.
FAQ
Short answers - detailed information is on profiles.
This page brings together all known scorpion species recorded in Georgia. Each species has a separate full profile based on reliable scientific sources.
The atlas includes the mottled scorpion (Mesobuthus eupeus), Italian scorpion (Euscorpius italicus), Mingrelian scorpion (Euscorpius mingrelicus), and Caucasian scorpion (Olivierus caucasicus).
Each scorpion page follows a shared structure: taxonomy, appearance and identification, habitat, evidence of occurrence in Georgia, possible sting risk where needed, and sources used.
A region is marked only when the profile has a relevant local or regional record. Knowing only that a species occurs in Georgia does not mean it occurs in every Georgian region.
Do not handle the scorpion. Seek timely medical advice for severe pain or a child who has been stung. Call 112 in Georgia for breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, or other serious symptoms beyond the sting site. See the sting guide for first steps.
