Acknowledgements
Setting up this page would not be possible without
the invaluable help of many. The years of research others has put into
scorpion research has made possible this compilation I produce here. Information
of the many books related to scorpions (under heading like desert fauna,
venomous animals, arachnids, entomology and scorpions) has been used extensively
in my page. To these authors, I give my thanks.
Personal thought on 'Candle in the Wind'
'Candle in the wind' is to me a tribute to man's
care for another. Each of our life is just like a candle; each contributing
our own light, however transient. What sets man apart is that through records,
our knowledge remains to be passed on to another. As in many things, the
sparks of another and the combined brilliance of many lit our way towards
futher understanding (in this case, of scorpions)................
