The back is covered with headgear, which is densely covered with granular protrusions. There are a pair of middle eyes in the center of the back, three side eyes on both sides of the front end and six pairs of appendages. The first pair is the whole limb that helps to eat, the second pair is the long and thick horn whiskers shaped like crab claws, which are responsible for predation, touch and defense, and the other four pairs.

food

Scorpions are carnivores, feeding on various arthropods, such as insects and terrestrial mollusks, especially soft and juicy small animals rich in protein.

Nymphs, crickets, ground beetles, slugs, Tenebrio molitor, rice borers and corn borers like to eat all kinds of spiders and locusts; Cricket is the most ideal scorpion bait under artificial propagation conditions. Fresh meat, such as pork, beef, fish, frog meat and other scorpions also like to eat, but do not eat cooked food.

type

Scorpion is a hermaphrodite, sexually mature female scorpion, which is in estrus twice a year. Once in May-June, this is called "prenatal estrus"; Once, after the mother gave birth to the young scorpion, the young scorpion quickly left the back of the mother scorpion and began to estrus after about August. This is the so-called "postpartum estrus". After the female scorpion is in estrus, especially after the first estrus of the newborn female scorpion, the male scorpion must be caught and released immediately for mating. In a nest of scorpions, the ratio of male to female is generally 3: 1, that is, "3 females 1 male".
