Sherwood & Armas (2023) provided a comprehensive and up to-date list of scorpions detected as stowaways in the United Kingdom. Since that work, the senior author has received further enquiries which contribute a number of new records for the literature. Furthermore, it came to our attention through correspondence with colleagues that we ought to examine the press media for examples of further cases, although these of course are not part of the scientific literature and have not passed peer-review. Nonetheless, we have evaluated these records and found a number with photographs and other information which allow us to provide a family or genus-level identification, at the very least, and in some cases even a species-level identification.
