Only fifty of the one thousand two hundred species of scorpions are deadly. Pseudoscorpions have huge pinchers but no stinger. They also can make silk like spiders for secure hideaways. Another interesting scorpion is the Tailed Whip scorpion. Instead of venom they spray an acidic liquid that has vinegar and other organic acids in it.
Scorpions eat a wide variety of food.
They eat insects like cockroaches, beetles, crickets, centipedes, millipedes, lizards, and small rodents. They get their water from their food. They can live without water for six months. Scorpions usually live in hot places like desserts, especially in India, Africa, South America, Mexico, and between Arizona and Utah. They live in burrows, under rocks, and under bark.
