They are not called tails they are called stingers. they have have them because they are arachnids. Arachnids have two parts of their body cephalothorx and head and thorax (the neck where you swallow your food) they have eight legs
How long a scorpion's tail is depends on the type and age of the scorpion. Some very small scorpions have tails that are barely half an inch long, while larger scorpions may have tails that stretch four inches or more.
yes some of them do dig but their tails remain above ground noob
Scorpions do not sting themselves to death. This old wive's tail arises from the fact that the tails curl over into the body as the scorpion dies...especially when it's being tortured.
First, scorpions don't bite. They either a) sting you with their tails or b) kill you with their claws. Big scorpions generally have bigger claws but have weaker venom (as they have no use for their venom if they can kill with their claws) and smaller scorpians are usually more venomous. Hope this helps :)
Scorpions make good lizard food. There are many predators to scorpions, birds, cats, mice, rats, even humans in certain locations eat scorpions. So lizards eat scorpions, spiders eat scorpions, scorpions eat scorpions and people eat scorpions. I'm sure pocket mice eat scorpions!
Pseudoscorpions look like scorpions, but they do not have stingers on their tails.
Scorpions, wasps, hornets and bees have stingers.
Scorpions are arachnids with stinging tails.
to sting... the tails have venom in a sack.

Creatures like scorpions have tails that end in stingers for defense. Praying mantises have elongated abdomens that resemble tails. Centipedes and millipedes have tail-like segments. Silverfish have cerci, tail-like appendages for sensing.
Yes, scorpions can lose their tails, a process known as autotomy. This usually occurs as a defense mechanism when they are threatened by predators. However, losing their tail can significantly affect their ability to hunt and defend themselves, as the tail is crucial for delivering venom and balance. If a scorpion loses its tail, it may not regenerate; unlike some other species, scorpions do not typically regrow their tails.

For self defense against predators, and to kill prey for survival. :D

Scorpions and pseudoscorpions are both arachnids, but they belong to different orders; scorpions are in the order Scorpiones, while pseudoscorpions belong to the order Pseudoscorpiones. Scorpions are characterized by their long tails and pincers, which they use for defense and capturing prey, whereas pseudoscorpions are smaller, lack a tail, and have pincers that resemble those of scorpions but are adapted for different hunting techniques. Additionally, scorpions are often found in more arid environments, while pseudoscorpions are commonly found in leaf litter and soil.
The collective nouns are a bed of scorpions, a colony of scorpions, or a nest of scorpions.
