Scorpions like to eat insects with high protein and low fat. These insects are soft, juicy and active, but they don't like rotten, smelly, dead and dull insects.

Scorpion is an omnivore, mainly catching spiders, crickets, centipedes, locusts and other insects for a living. After artificial breeding, people found that Tenebrio molitor, Eupolyphaga sinensis, black powder insect, exotic insects, mice and mosquitoes are all scorpions' favorite foods. Moreover, the content of protein is very high, which plays an important role in the growth and molting of scorpions.

Scorpions are arachnids, and spiders also belong to arachnids. Their typical features include slender bodies, spines, spiny bends and segmented tails (hind abdomen). The earliest scorpions on land appeared in the Silurian (Silurian) about 430 million years ago. Note: Any scorpion is poisonous, with different toxicity.

The habits of scorpions

1 habitat

Worms like to live in the shadows. They like tides and are afraid of humidity. Most scorpions live on hillsides, cliffs, cracks in walls and rocks. They like quiet and warm environment. If the surrounding environment is not suitable, they will flee in droves and find suitable places to settle down.

2. Law of Activity

Scorpions lurk during the day and come out at night, usually on a clear and storm-free night. They leave the nest at 8- 12 and return to the nest at about 3 am.

Scorpions usually sting from mid-April to165438+1early October; The annual activity cycle is about 6 months. In winter165438+1October, when the temperature drops below 7℃, the hibernation period is about 5 months. When the temperature is above 65438 02℃ in spring, the activity of being startled begins. When the temperature rises to 25-32℃, scorpions are most active, which is the best period for scorpions to grow and develop.

3. Feeding characteristics

Scorpion's predation energy is very low, which mainly depends on the function of sensory organs and the vibration of feed insects. After catching insects with pliers, anesthetize them with poisonous needles. Because scorpions have no mouthparts, the digestion method is in vitro digestion. First, the body will secrete some digestive juice, digest the captured worms into juice, and then inhale it.

Scorpions eat a lot. When they are hungry, they can eat food equal to their own weight at one time. Scorpions have a strong hunger tolerance. Eat/kloc-0 every 3-5 days, and eat a small amount of weathered soil when you are hungry.
