Bark scorpions survive in the desert by employing several adaptations. They have a thick exoskeleton that reduces water loss, allowing them to retain moisture in their arid environment. Additionally, they are nocturnal, avoiding the extreme daytime heat and hunting for prey during cooler nights. Their ability to burrow into the ground or hide under rocks also helps them escape harsh conditions and predators.

All living things need water. Scorpions conserve water by only emerging at night and remain during the heat of the day under rocks, tree bark and desert trash where it is shady, cooler and damper. They get much of the water they need from the food they consume.
Bark scorpions do not hibernate in the traditional sense but may enter a state of dormancy during colder months. In response to declining temperatures and reduced food availability, they seek shelter in crevices or under debris to conserve energy. This behavior helps them survive until conditions improve in the spring.
Nearly all the hot deserts have scorpions.
