They are animals in the order of Scorpions, under the Arachnida class, which means they are distant cousins to spiders. Scorpions have eight legs and two body segments, unlike insects, which have three body segments.
They have survived significant changes in the Earth’s climate and environment. They can live a very long time, anywhere from two to ten years, but some can live as long as 25 years!
The outer shell of their exoskeleton contains special proteins that react to ultraviolet light, creating a greenish-blue glow.
Scorpions engage in the courtship dance to ensure mating takes place between compatible individuals and reduce the risk of aggression. Throughout millions of years, these ancient arachnids have developed complex behaviors and adaptations to ensure successful reproduction.
They also have a long, curved tail with a venomous stinger, which they use to inject venom into their prey. The venom immobilizes or kills the prey, making it easier for the scorpion to consume.
The mother carries the baby scorpions on her back until they are ready to fend for themselves, which is a unique and protective behavior in the arachnid world.
This allows them to survive for several months without food. This adaptation helps them endure periods of scarcity in their often harsh and unpredictable environments.
Whip Scorpions (also known as Uropygi, or vinegarroons), Sun Spiders (also known as wind scorpions), and Pseudoscorpions are all arachnids that people often confuse with scorpions. Whip scorpions are not found in the US.
There are not many signs that scorpions have invaded your home aside from seeing them. However, here are a few things to look for if scorpions are common in your area.
Seeing a scorpion in your home is an obvious sign. They are nocturnal, so you may be more likely to spot them at night.
Scorpions often hide in dark, sheltered places during the day. Check areas such as closets, shoes, piles of clothes, and corners of rooms.
If you frequently find scorpions outside your home, there’s a possibility they could be entering your home. Check around entry points like doors and windows.
If you see small, translucent scorpions, it may indicate a breeding population in or around your home.
