Scorpions

There are less scorpions that are capable of killing a Human than there are snakes who can deliver fatal poison..

Most scorpions have weaker venom than snakes - they use their pincers to capture prey and sting it to death as well as tear it apart. Snakes have no other limbs to rely on, so their venom is the only weapon they have.

Snake venom is also dangerous because there are many different kinds of venom; some affect the nerves, some destroy the body's tissue.

Arthropods have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

They are usually 20cm in length (8 inches)

The biggest one recorded is 23cm in length (9 inches)

a death stalker can kill you if not treated, the venom is rated 5 out of 5 being 1 the lowest and 5 the highest but it always depends you could get a dry sting and not be injected with any venom the other venoms are the bi color and the ariencola

They are arachnids. Like spiders and ticks.

- they are bugs, but not insects.

Insects have 6 legs, arachnids have 8. "Bug" is a catchall term.

Most scorpions give live birth, and do NOT reproduce like humans, they reproduce similarly, with male and female parts, and sperm, but the process is not the same. Scorpion young stay on their mother's back for several weeks until they molt, they then descend and become completely independent of their mothers, usually, occasionally there is a form of community, but those are the exceptions to the rule.
Yes. They would have to otherwise the first would be the last.

I have 4 emperors and if you see anything smeared on the glass it simple right before the stinger, the dip is and has no exoskeleton showing, if you ever notice them lay their tail down flat, it's because they are taking a dump on the ground

Yes, the Scorpion King legend is Egyptian. It refers to a king who ruled Upper Egypt during the Protodynastic Period.

I think the deathstalker scorpion is an APEX predator (meaning that it has nothing on top of it)

No. Scorpionflies are incapable of stinging humans. Their scorpion-like tail is actually the male scorpionfly's genitalia. They feed mostly off of dead/dying soft-bodied insects. Males will present prey to females in hopes to win their rights to mate. They aren't a threat to humans.

Depends on what kind of scorpion and how old it is.

By the way, SCORPIONS AREN'T INSECTS. THEY ARE ARACHNIDS.

I don't know but I hope it's against the law!

i live on south beach and i have just now killed a scorpion in my living room for the first time in 12 yrs that i live in Miami i had never expected to find one

Yes, scorpions eat butterflies among many other insects such as roaches, beetles, flies and favoring moths. An adult scorpion feeds on larger pray such as birds, mice and lizards. Though the scorpions diet varies, they can go months without eating.

A group of scorpions is called a bed or a nest. It is not, despite what the fictional drama series Scorpion says, called a cyclone as was also stated in the previous revision of this answer. Please take note that answers.com is NOT a certified knowledge base and usually lacks certifiable sources.

Scorpions stowed away on ships that were going to Hawaii from places that had scorpions in them already. They are stoic and adaptable creatures and can survive almost anywhere.

Some of the most poisonous spiders in the world are the Brown Recluse, Black Widow, and the Brazilian wandering spider. Other dangerous spiders are funnel web spider, mouse spider, and the red back spider.

Scorpions are cold blooded. This is a common characteristic of all arachnids. For this reason they are found on every continent except Antarctica.

The scorpion poison goes to the heart and blocks all the arteries therefore stopping the blood to be pumped

Scorpions belong to the group arachnids. The word arachnid comes from a Greek legend of a woman called Arachna. She dared to compare her weaving skills to Athena and got turned into a spider.

All scorpions have venom. There are different types of black scorpions like the emperor scorpion and the Asian forest scorpion. But no, theyre not. If youre alleric to their sting though, it could kill ya.
