The order Scorpion has a total of 1900 species in 9 families.

The scorpion is a large arachnid with a body length of 15 cm, strong whiskers, a pair of powerful claws, a claw needle on the tail, and a clear segmentation of the body, which looks scary.

The claw needle not only intimidates predators, but also has a sensitive sense, with the tentacles on the large pliers, it has an extremely sensitive perception of the odor and air flow generated by the activity of the prey, and will quickly lift the pliers, raise the claw needle, and prepare to hunt the prey.

Scorpions are masters of hunting, they are under the stones, branches, waiting for the prey to enter the perceptual range, they not only prey on insects such as ants, but also prey on the same kind, spiders and even prey on small vertebrates such as mice, but vertebrates due to their relatively large size, need to use the claw needle to inject venom to kill before they can safely eat.

It is worth noting that most of the scorpions are oviparous, but a small part is fetal, and a litter can give birth to 20-30 small scorpions, which are milky white or transparent, lying on the back of the female scorpion until their first molt, which takes about 15 days; If it is an oviparous scorpion, the female scorpion will take several months or even ten months to lay eggs after mating, and the eggs will enter the "incubation basket" surrounded by the female scorpion's pre-cray feet to hatch.
