Scorpions only go out at night to catch prey. The scorpion is brown. They are not insects. It has eighth legs and it has 6 to 12 eyes. They have a set of pincher's and a set of claws. It also has a painful stinger on its tail. Scorpions eat spider's insects and millipedes. Since they are brown, they can blend into the desert sand.

Arthropod
Although all 4 are types of animals they are quite different.
- An Arthropod is an invertebrate with an exoskeleton rather than an internal skeleton (and hence not a vertebrate since that would require having a backbone or the equivalent), a segmented body, and jointed paired appendages.
- A mollusk is also an invertebrate but has a mantle with a significant cavity used for breathing and excretion, a radula, a minutely toothed, chitinous ribbon kind of like a tounge, which is typically used for scraping or cutting food before the food enters the esophagus (except in the case of bivalves like clams and oysters, and a nervous system with two pairs of main nerve cords (one mostly serving the internal organs and the other the "foot") organized around a number of paired ganglia. In many species of mollusks the epidermis of the mantle secretes calcium carbonate and conchiolin which create a shell for the mollusk.
- The term "worm" applies to a disparate group of animals with long cylindrical tube-like bodies and no legs. Most, but not all, worms are invertebrates.
- Sponges are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them. They lack any nervous, digestive, or circulatory system. Most sponges rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes. Obviously they live in the water since they rely on this water flow.

What do scorpions contribute to there environment?
Asked by Wiki User
Scorpions introduce a healthy dose of fear and anguish to your otherwise peaceful nights cuddled up in soft bedsheets. You never know when one will turn up and they like to keep you one your toes that way. It makes life more entertaining for everyone. The scorpion has contributed mostly to modern civilization's entertainment industries such as film and music, offering up ideas for films like The Scorpion King trilogy, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Red Scorpion, and the lesser known Scorpio Nights. I need not mention the untouchable rock group The Scorpions but I will because they are just that good. Most scorpions are friendly and if you let them sting you once, you have a friend for life. I have seen men in India walking giant scorpions on leashes. Scorpions can be frightening but only when improperly engaged. The scorpion has a soft spot for spaghetti and meatballs and barrel-aged whiskey. If you show up to a scorpion hot zone lacking these items, prepare to be stung.
