Insects that are commonly referred to as water scorpions belong to the family
Nepidae. There are 13 species of water scorpions found in North America (McCafferty,
1981). Water scorpions are 15-45 mm (excluding the breathing tube) long and are
either narrow and elongate or broad and oval in form (McCafferty, 1981). Nepidae
respire through a long caudal breathing tube, or snorkel. The legs are long and narrow.
The fore legs are raptorial (Daly, 1998; Kellogg and Kellogg, 1994; Lehmkuhl, 1979;
McCafferty, 1981), while the posterior legs are adapted for walking among aquatic
vegetation and debris where they stalk prey (Daly, 1998). Water scorpions are poor
swimmers (Daly, 1998; McCafferty, 1981), but they mostly inhabit aquatic vegetation
and debris of lentic waters and therefore do not need to be good swimmers.
The group of insects commonly known as the giant water bugs belongs to the
family Belostomatidae. There are approximately 20 species of belostomatids found in
North America (Lehmkuhl, 1979; McCafferty, 1981). These can be some of the largest
aquatic insects and are usually 20-65 mm long (McCafferty, 1981). They are somewhat
flattened and oval in form. Giant water bugs obtain oxygen through a pair of retractile
strap-like appendages that are located at the tip of the abdomen (Lehmkuhl, 1979). The
fore legs are raptorial, and the middle and hind legs are fringed with hairs for swimming.
The large raptorial fore legs allow belostomatids to attack prey that can be up to 20 time
G. Smith 9
larger in size (Kellogg and Kellogg, 1994). Males of the genera Belostoma and Abedus
carry eggs on their backs (females glue them there) until they hatch. Common names
other than giant water bugs include fish killers, electric light bugs, and toe biters. The
name fish killer refers to the voraciousness of some species that will attack small fishes
and other small animals such as ducklings (McCafferty, 1981). The name electric light
bug refers to the tendency of dispersing adults to be attracted to lights at night
(McCafferty, 1981). The name toe biter refers to the fact that some species are known
bit the toes of waders and swimmers (McCafferty, 1981).

* They are hairy, with beady eyes and "Popeye forearms," and they are lightning-quick.
* Wind scorpions' jaws are like a combination pincer and knife -- they chew their victims into pulp with a sawing motion, and then exude an enzyme that liquefies the flesh, which they suck into their stomachs.
* They not harmful to humans, however.

What are the appendages that scorpions and spiders use to capture and handle their prey?
Spiders and scorpions do not use the same method to catch prey. Scorpions often kill prey with venom, using the stinger at the end of their tail. However, they first grab the prey with their claws. They then raise their tail over their heads and sting the prey. Spiders, however, either spin webs to entrap their prey, ambush or hunt for their prey using venom to subdue them, or wait for their prey until it approaches them, killing them with a suprise attack.

What causes scorpions to come in your house?
If you hire pest control, it can take up to a year to rid a home of all of them. They can stay in the same place (such as a wall) for long periods of time. Scorpions can go without food, but not without water. If a wall is damp, a scorpion will stay in that spot for a long time, and sometimes breed.
If you close as many cracks and entry spots as you can, it will help. I like to take a black light outside at night and find them (they glow). I own a local pest control company in south Texas and they are a big problem here. I have found homes that have 20-30 a day. We tend to treat the lawn with water-activated products to provide a longer-life chemical treatment. They come from the outside into the house, so the more you can do outside to stop them, the better. Inside treatments are needed as well - but the outside is the key.
