This is one of the few scorpions native to the southeastern United States. It is found in several states in the region, including Georgia, North Carolina, and Kentucky. It prefers rocky areas along lakes and ponds with plenty of wood and leaf litter available for shelter. Like nearly all scorpions, it is nocturnal.
The sting of this scorpion is moderately painful, but is not life-threatening, nor is it considered particularly medically serious unless an allergy to the venom is involved.
