They are recognized by their eight legs, pair of pincers (pedipalps), and a narrow, segmented tail that often curves over the back, ending with a venomous stinger. Scorpions are found on all continents except Antarctica and come in various sizes, the largest being the emperor scorpion, which can reach up to 23 cm in length. Despite their fearsome reputation, only a few species have venom that is dangerous to humans. Scorpions are nocturnal creatures and use their pincers primarily for prey capture and defense. They are also known for their fluorescent exoskeletons, which glow under ultraviolet light, a feature that remains a mystery in purpose to scientists. ***
