*** About Scorpions: Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones. They have eight legs and are easily recognized by the pair of grasping pincers and the narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back, ending with a venomous stinger. Scorpions are found on all continents except Antarctica and have adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. They are particularly prevalent in desert and semi-arid regions. There are about 2,500 known species of scorpions, with their evolutionary history going back to the Silurian era, some 430 million years ago. These ancient creatures play a crucial role in the food chain, helping to control the populations of various insects and pests.
