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?

Trying to Be Scorpion-freeThis is hard to do. Scorpions can (and will) enter through small cracks and gaps around the home. They can also enter around window and door frames. They will mostly move at night in their hunt for food.

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.

Where does a water scorpion live?

I work at a truckstop in Mn and we are about 2.5 miles from water and we have these things hanging and flying yes flying around at night by the gas pumps and diesel pumps. So while they are called water scorpions there is no water near the truckstop but a plethora of these nasty little creatures, especially by our box crusher. The only real difference I have noticed between these and pics from wikipedea is they lack the breathing tube on their backside, and they yes they do fly. Otherwise they are one and the same ugly creepy bugs. I have pic posted on FB of one I trapped in a container to ask others what it was. My darling 13 y/o genius knew right away and now here I am answering your question. But to answer it for real, it is said they live in shallow water near shorelines and feed on fairy shrimp and tadpoles.

Would a scorpion and a sagittariun make a good couple?

Definitely NOT!

A Sagittarius is a fire sign and Scorpio a water sign. Now it's important to remember that just this difference does not always make two sun signs incompatible but it can very often result in profound differences that can breed animosity, tension or distrust due to the various character traits of each element.

Sagittarians are known best for their honesty, loyalty and transparent personalities and always expects the same in return from all who the archer associates with, be it in the corporate environment, in a relationship, a friendship or even in a light hearted association.

A Scorpio on the other hand is very dark and secretive, not always loyal, hardly ever open and transparent to people and prefers to keep their agendas hidden from both friends and foes.

Another important clash to take note of with this pairing is that Sagittarians are travels, explorers and very outgoing people who almost always find themselves in the centre of attention in all walks of life. A Sagittarius is an absolute social cat and hates to be confined to one goal, task, dream or position. Scorpio's on the other hand tend to shy away from people that are loud, social extremists and exhibitionists.

For example, the ideal date for a Sagittarius would be sky diving or bungee jumping off the worlds highest cliff followed by a night out in one of the largest and most upmarket night clubs in the city till the following morning. A Scorpio would enjoy nothing more than watching a movie at the box office followed by a long romantic dinner over candle light in a restaurant that offers a quite and tranquil environment.

Scorpio's do have a fun loving side to them, don't get me wrong, but the archers desire to live life to the full out shines that of the scorpion.

Scorpio's are very passionate people when it comes to romance (and unfortunately only in this department) and expect their prospective lovers to meet their level of intensity, (no sun sign is as intense as a Scorpio when it comes to relationships!), while Sagittarians are known to be romantic, (if you lucky enough to evoke their sincere and true emotions), their expectations are far less in this department and often lack intensity.

A Scorpio is just too cold, practical, suspicious and deceitful for a Sagittarius and a archer, too transparent, open, trusting and full of life.

Lastly, the Scorpio is known to nurse grudges and resentments after even the smallest of arguments while the Sagittarius prefers to move on, forgiving and forgetting, giving people a second chance.

> Sagittarians ideal matches include, Aries, Leo and their own, all of the fire element. Libra's are also said to compliment the archer and vise versa.

> Scorpios ideal match is the Capricorn while Cancer and Virgo can also make for a good relationship.

Hope this helps!

How long does the scorpion weed rash last?

Well...it's been a full week and my legs, from ankles to knees, still look like they've been dipped into hot oil!!!  At least the dripping - ooozing has stopped and the scabbing can begin.  Get aloe vera juice in a bottle from the health store. Refrigerate it so it is very cold. Then apply to your face or wherever the rash occurs. Apply as often as needed. The juice cools the itchyness and helps dry out the rash. It takes me a week to get rid of the rash. Also take an alleergy tablet. The antihistamine helps keep it in check.
