How to distinguish a male scorpion from a female scorpion?
scorpion

Young scorpions all look alike, almost indistinguishable. Growing scorpions look closer to females. Only when they are adults can they easily distinguish between the sexes. There are many specific differences between male and female scorpions, but the most obvious difference is body shape and size.

Male scorpions are usually shorter with slender trunks, while female scorpions are slightly larger with swollen and thick trunks. The male scorpion has a slender body.

Other distinguishing methods are briefly described as follows:

1. The scorpion has a pair of feathered knuckles in its abdomen. The differences between men and women are as follows:

2. How many teeth are there in the abdominal articular plate (more men; Fewer women)

3. The ratio of trunk width to tail width (male scorpion is less than 2; The female scorpion is greater than 2)

4. Contact limb length (male scorpion is short and has odontoid process; The female scorpion is long and toothless)

5, reproductive cover hardness (male scorpion hard, female scorpion soft)

6. There will be a small hook on the male reproductive plate, but the female will not.
