A Lychas tricarinatus, or Three-keeled Bark Scorpion, is removed from a house using a broom in Tehatta, Nadia, West Bengal, India, on March 15, 2026. This small species of Indian bark scorpion, measuring up to 57 mm, is known for its cryptic appearance and widespread distribution. Notably, it reproduces through parthenogenesis, allowing females to reproduce without males. Lychas tricarinatus plays an important ecological role as a predator, controlling insect populations, and its venom has potential for research into antimicrobial and insecticidal compounds.
