AFS-Asian Forest Scorpion, it is found all over malaysia especially in undeveloped areas

moulting-moulting is a process whereby the insect or invertebrate sheds its skin in order to grow bigger, as the lack the vertebrae or backbone. unlike us humans, and ALL mammals, we have vertebrae to support us while growing. So this is basically the reason why insects moult.

speaking of scorpions being dangerous, a good rule of thumb is - the smaller the pincers of a scorpion, the more potent its venom. the larger the pincers os a scorpion, the less potent its venom.

Some scorpions can kill you with a single sting. one good example is the fat tailed scorpion. the less dangerous ones are basically the asian forest scorpion and emperor scorpion but neverthelss, it is always best not to handle your scorpion.
