The species epithet buchari honours Czech arachnologist Jan Buchar of Charles University in Prague.

[4] As small buthid scorpions they also carry a potent venom, with a researchers account of the sting comparing the pain to a sharp burn.

[6] Lychas buchari has less pronounced pedipalps relative to other buthid scorpions and is more inclined to use their tail to both subdue prey and defend themselves.

[7] This does make them easier targets for people to sample during night as they glow a bright greenish-blue colour when a ultraviolet light is used, contrasting sharply with the sandy environment.

[2] All enclosures should have sufficient space for the animals' well-being and simulate its natural habitat, red sand dunes; this is both for the scorpions health and quality of life.

Once the exchange is complete the scorpions will either go separate ways as normal, or if the female is particularly aggressive will then eat the male.

[9] Lychas burchari, along with all desert dwelling scorpions, rely on pectinal teeth to sense vibrations on the sand surface.

[11] Though having extremely small mouth parts means all prey caught must be mashed up and broken down with enzymes.
