The east coast is a miserable shithole, I wouldn't live there either

I'm calling bullshit on that map. There's no way mountainous dry cold areas have them in china south America or Australia

There's not even spiders in those regions

I know of at least a few scorpion species that live in the Italian Alps, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were some living in the high Andes or something.

I had doubts as well, but apparently there's a lone species of scorpion inhabiting Tierra del Fuego.
Fucker's obscure as fuck, tho'

>>5096083
In BC they are only found in the Okanagan valley

they're on the shitty part of the east coast and not the good part (new england) thoughever

Harsh winters obviously based on that map, same as Europe outside of the Mediterranean.

>>5095973
The Glaciers pushed them out during the Last Ice Age and they've never been able to recolonize due to harsh winters and natural barriers.
The same is true for Worms, which were also absent from the northeast prior to the arrival of Europeans.

They live in Montana! How can Montana winters be more mellow than Maryland winters?

I think you might be mistaken

imagine unironically defending the most depressing place in the us

more arid environment probably makes for more suitable living conditions in subterranean space
Although it wouldn't explain Oregon

>new england depressing
New England is cozy as fuck, what the hell are you talking about? Depressing is West Virginia, the dead coal towns of Pennsylvania, the brown seas of New York City, the red savage reservations in the west, the year round dreary drizzle of the PNW, the sweltering meth trailer parks of Florida... but New England? You are literally out of your gourd.

No it's because the midwest is drier so the glacier didn't extend as far south. The wet weather of the east coast made the cold worse too + high ground water level.
Same reason why the midwest also has more lizard species. It's not the cold, it's cold plus wet. And also a fucking mile thick layer of ice crushing everything under it.
>never been able to recolonize due to harsh winters and natural barriers
Scorpions could survive in the northeast they just haven't migrated there yet. They're like an inch long and can't fly what do you expect in 10,000 years (basically nothing on a geological timescale)

>muh glacier
I don't buy it. Scorpions hitch rides with people all the time, in RVs, cars, luggage. There should be at least SOME scorpions that manage to find a niche in East Coast. Something is going on, it's very mysterious.

>>5096873
Sure but a single scorpion doesn't create a new population all by itself
>Something is going on, it's very mysterious
There are scorpions in kentucky and north carolina. It's not a climate issue.

>>5096876
all it would take is one preggo scorp
>it's not a climate issue
Agreed.

I found one under a rock in the mountains of Peru. I gave it a little pet.
