martensiispecimen encased in rectangular indestructible,transparent lucite block. Safe,authentic and completely unbreakable specimen put real Scorpion right at your fingertips! Anyone can safely explore the Scorpion from every angle. It is clear enough for microscope observation.
*** It shows the incomplete metamorphosis life cycle of locust. The immature stages are called nymphs. The nymphs look very similar to adults but lack reproductive structures. After four nymphal stages, it becomes the adult. ***
Size of the lucite block is 16.5x7.7x2.0 cm (6.5x3.0x0.8 inch).
Weight of the lucite block is 300 g and 340 g with packing box.
This
is a handmade real animal specimen craft. Each one will be a bit different (specimen size, color and posture) even in the same production batch.
The picture in my listing is just for reference as we are selling multiple pieces with the same picture.
It is an ideal learning aid for students and kids and also a very good collectible item for every body.

also breed quite readily and beginning to be a very common scorpion in the
trade.
Mesobuthus martensii is a species of scorpion in the family Buthidae. Its common names include Chinese
scorpion, Manchurian scorpion, Chinese armor-tail scorpion
and Chinese golden scorpion. Despite its common name, this scorpion is
not only found in Manchuria or China,
but also in Mongolia, Korea
and Japan. Its preferred habitat is warm, dry areas
with little vegetation. M. martensii can grow to about 6 centimetres
(2.4 in) long, with females usually slightly larger, and has a life-span
of about 4 to 6 years.
M. martensii, especially its tail, has been
used in traditional
Chinese medicine for many centuries to treat various neuronal
problems, such as chronic pain, paralysis, apoplexy and epilepsy. Over the past few decades, dozens of
novel proteins in this scorpion's venom have been identified, cloned and
investigated for clinical applications. For instance, at least 51 long-chain
peptides related to the sodium channel
toxins and 18 peptides related to the potassium channel toxins have been described,
along with two peptides, BmK AS and AS1,
that act on ryanodine receptors.
Apart from having analgesic properties,
BmK AS is also the first long-chain scorpion peptide reported to have antimicrobial activity. Amongst the sodium
channel-specific neurotoxins, there are a number of muscle relaxants, such as makatoxin I
and bukatoxin, while BmKAEP and BmK IT2 have shown anticonvulsant activity in experimental
conditions, inhibiting epileptic seizures
induced in rats. BmK AGAP has both analgesic and antitumor properties and recombinant proteins
could potentially be used in anticancer treatments.
