Best Answer

Scorpions have two main defense mechanisms - their pincers and their stinger. Some scorpions have the ability to spray their venom to temporarily disorient an attacker so they can escape.

The stinger at the end of the scorpion's 'tail' is its most powerful defense. The venom is lethal to their prey.

Scorpions have additional protections:

  • The scorpion's body covering (carapace) is extremely hard.
  • Most scorpions hide during the day, since they are nocturnal, and only become active at night when they search for food.

Scorpions normally hide beneath rocks and logs, or any other cavity they can fit into and wait for a victim to come along. They can feel slight vibrations in the air or in the ground to alert them.

The insect called a water scorpion avoids predators by moving slowly in the water or not moving much at all. Also, its excellent camouflage protects it as it clings to an underwater stem, waiting to catch its own prey.
