Scorpions

Scorpions are surrounded by much myth and are generally considered more dangerous animals than they usually are.

They are night creatures from the spider family, and hunt - and are hunted by - insects, lizards, mice and so on. The largest is the South African Scorpion which can reach over 8 inches long, but most are only a couple of inches.

Even then most deaths from stings that do occur are in babies and the elderly or result from hypersensitivity to the venom through anaphylactic shock.

People who live around scorpions usually treat their stings as we would treat a wasp sting. i.e. painful but not life-threatening.

P.S

They are unable to sting what they are standing on if quite a flat surface, so you're reasonably safe if one has crawled onto your arm or leg.., until you try to pick it up!

i dont know but theres alot looking 4 specific species that live in Malibu ,California

They are both part of the same species group

it depends. if its more then 30 army ants the army ants are stronger.

Yes, most of the scorpions in America are not poisionous. There is only one species of scorpian in the U.S. that is harmful to humans.

Actually no scorpion is "poisonous" they are venomous. Venom is a special attribute only possessed by certain creatures like snakes and spiders and scorpions and wasps etc.. A venom needs to be injected directly into another organism through a "hypodermic needle" type appendage or device. Poisonous refers to a creature that does not directly affect another organism but instead is a secondary type of affect that occurs when another organism touches or eats the poisonous creature.

Scorpion stings could only be cured in the 1800s by incision, drainage, warm compresses, and elevation. But of course, back then, not all of these things worked, but hopefully afterwards, you would bleed a little and then be fine.

All scorpions have venom; let's just get that out of the way. Their venom is not a defensive mechanism (meaning, they didn't evolve it to protect themselves from us), it's how they catch their prey. This means their venom is adapted to neutralizing the things they normally eat -- namely, invertebrates. So first off, a scorpion's venom isn't really tailored to affecting humans. Very small scorpions such as the bark scorpion found in Southern Florida can sting and the sting is painful -- but, like a bee sting, goes away with little more than localized swelling. The issue with very small scorpions is they literally cannot inject enough venom to affect a large human. Think of dropping a single drop of red food dye into a big bucket. There's so much water you won't even see the color. On the flip side, very big scorpions tend to rely on their pincers more than their venom to neutralize prey as pincers are not as costly as venom and don't require them to constantly replace them. Therefore, their venom is weaker and not nearly as potent. The best predictor of how strong a scorpion's venom is is not the size of the scorpion but rather the size of their pincers in relation to their body. An emporer scorpion, for example, is huge, but has huge bulky pincers and very, very weak venom. Another scorpion with more slender, delicate pincers is not using their pincers to catch their prey and will have a more powerful venom. Always remember that if you'll be travelling to a place with scorpions, do a quick check on the local species to get an idea of what level of danger they pose as well as what precautions you should take in dealing with them (not leaving clothes on the ground, shaking out shoes before putting them on, etc). Many scorpions are harmless or pose very little threat, but there are a few deadly kinds -- but most importantly, a scorpion won't bother you if you don't bother it.

Although a scorpion has its stings and venom, it's not so harmful to humans since a person being bitten by a scorpion, he/she just experience pain, numbness and swelling. However, it's safer if you will consult your doctor as soon as possible.

There is no exact size of scorpions they range in size by age and variety, i have seen them 1/4" to 5" long.

Desert reptiles are more known to eat scorpions, as they have adapted to their environment.

Take scorpion venom and dissolve it with alcohol/water, dilute in a ratio of 9:1 and succuss (strike forcefully) 10 times, take a tenth portion of that and repeat dilution and succussion step 12 times, to create a 12X potency remedy. Take a portion immediately, save the rest for future emergency.

Yes especially if you damp a fabric leaving a small space for it to cuddle into, leaving it over night u may find it dry or if u flip it over u may eventually find a scorpion under it for it absorbed all the water in it or wanted a place to hide in.

I am not an expert i just got this answer with experience

you could only find one in a hot climate...not in clike Boston

Yes, I killed one in the shower this morning and found another in the drain just before I stepped in. I just read that pouring 2 tablespoons of bleach down the drain once a week deters them.

Omnivores are animals which feed on both plants and other animals. Humans, bears, and dogs are all considered to be omnivores.

No. Scorpions are in the arachnid family which includes spiders, mites, ticks, etc.

im pretty sure that yes they do but im not sertant about them growing backtheir stingers they may or they may not but im a bout 58% sure but im not sertant

it has fast legs so it can catch its prey faster

If you cut of your scorpions stinger it might die, but if you dont cut it to far down it will be fine. (If you cut it to far in the tail your scorpion will bleed to death)

So be careful or go to a pet store and ask someone to do it for you.

They would have to take test and talk to each other on i phone 4s. They also would have pillow fights and talk about their feelings. I love you mommy they would say and bye

water scorpion use forelegs,and use jack knifing design with outer segments folding into a groove to secure the prey.

No, "Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior" was Rock-less. Here's a cast list: === === Michael Copon, Mathayus Karen David, Layla Simon Quarterman, Ari Tom Wu, Fong Andreas Wisniewski, Pollux Randy Couture, Sargon Natalie Becker, Astarte Jeremy Crutchley, Baldo Shane Manie, Jesup

lobsters,crabs,shrimp,spiders, andhorseshoecrabs are related to scorpions.to me I think lobsters are mostrelated because they have pinchers like scorpions.

Like other arachnids, scorpions have a single tube for a heart. While they have some arteries to deliver freshly oxygenated 'blood' (called hemolymph in creatures with an open circulatory system) to important areas, it is returned grossly to the hemocoel.
