Many times after they mate, the female will eat the male. Scorpion babies develop in the mother and are born alive. They stay on the mother's back for about 12 days. They are nocturnal and during the day most species will burrow under stones or logs. They can live 6-7 years.
Scorpions have a venomous stinger on the tip of their tail.
They use their venom to kill prey or to warn others to stay away. They can range from half an inch to seven inches long. Their large front pincers are used to grasp prey and kill it. They will then suck the tissues from their prey. Kalasinskas, All rights reserved.
