what are some unique physical characteristics of a scorpion2007-11-24 2:03:03

It is unknown whether scorpions are venom conservers; however, the venom is often only used when the prey cannot be subdued with the claws alone. Many scorpion species, such as Pandinus and Hadogenes, rarely if ever use their venom, instead relying on their strong bulky pedipalps in prey capture.

Hope this helps you out hunny..Flo

Some are very poisonous.

I believe that some, if not all scorpions glow under ultraviolet light.

I don't think copying and pasting someone else's work should be permitted. Scorpions have live babies that they carry around on their backs like wolf spiders do. The big, scary ones are usually not the most poisonous. The little ones with thin claws are usually the most deadly. They glow fluorescent under a black light - this is sooooooo cool looking you just have to try it. It makes them look like they are made of living, brightly colored play-dough or plastic. They have pretty good eyesight but rely more on vibrations to detect prey and danger. They have special organs under their bodies to detect scents and on their legs to detect vibrations.

There is a chemical in the shell of all Scorpions will undergo fluorescence in ultraviolet light
