Scorpions are highly effective predators because they possess a unique combination of characteristics that enable them to detect prey (eyes), move quickly and agilely over any terrain in pursuit of prey (4 pairs of clawed legs), and then catch and hold prey (pedipalps and chelae) while injecting venom into the prey ( ...
The brain of a scorpion is in the back of the cephalothorax, just above the esophagus. As in other arachnids, the nervous system is highly concentrated in the cephalothorax, but has a long ventral nerve cord with segmented ganglia which may be a primitive trait.
Even with all those eyes, scorpions can't see very well! Yet the sensitivity of their eyes is among the highest in all arthropods and dependent on the kinds of habitats in which they live. In general terms, however, their eyes mostly tell movement and light from dark.
Lavender, cinnamon, peppermint and cedar are all essential oils said to deter scorpions. These can be diluted with the carrier oil of your choice and sprayed along scorpion problem areas and entry points—such as baseboards, windowsills, doorways, and around the perimeter of your home.
Fast Facts. Scorpions are common arachnids found in gardens and forests throughout Australia. They are found under logs, rocks and in shallow burrows in earth banks. There are also desert species that construct deep spiral burrows in desert sand.
Despite the face that they show to the world, deep down, Scorpios have incredibly sensitive hearts. As a water sign, they feel all emotions very deeply, and they must guard their hearts with a shield.
They appreciate it when people are straight up with them and do not shy away from the tough discussions. Open and honest conversations are ideal for Scorpios. They are happiest when they can fully trust those around them to always tell the truth.
Scorpions can sense the size, shape and proximity of anything around it, even humans.

Several species of scorpion have a courtship ritual that appears to walk a fine line between wooing and attacking. A male scorpion will lead a female on a dance-like walk, known as a promenade à deux, holding her by the pedipalps (large claws). During this waltz, males have been observed stinging their partners.
How long does scorpions live? Scorpions are unusual long lived compared to other invertebrates. Most scorpions reach maturity in 1-3 years (some species take longer time), and live for 1-3 years as adults. This means that scorpions can live from 2-6 years, but there are few life span studies.
The vast majority of scorpions are nonsocial, solitary animals that interact only at birth, during courtship, or for cannibalism. They are often so aggressive that they are usually considered “inveterate cannibals.” A few, however, exhibit social behaviour.
Scorpios don't fall in love easily.
