"Scorpions are florescent under UV lighting.
It is easy for scientists to find scorpions in the wild because scorpions have a florescent glow under UV light.
The substance that makes them glow is located beneath the layer that covers their bodies.
The only scorpions that do not glow are those that have just molted, since this layer has been shed.
Scientists are not sure exactly why scorpions are covered in this glowing substance, but suspect it may help the scorpion to tell when it is light outside.",
"Shield Shed:
The most vulnerable time for scorpions is right after they molt.
This is because they have shed their outer layer, including the exoskeleton, that protects them from injury.",
"A Face Only A Mother Could Love:
Rather than laying eggs, scorpions give birth to live young! In this way, scorpions differ from most other arachnids.",
"The Dance of Love:
The scorpion mating ritual is very unusual. The male and the female use scent, touch, and vibration to attract one another. Then, the male leaves a deposit of sperm called the spermatophore on the ground.
Once the sperm has been deposited, the male and female will dance until the female is over the sperm deposit.
The sperm will be drawn up into her body through what is called the genital pore. Once this is done, fertilization occurs within the mother.",
"The Ancient Scorpion:

"Scorpion Table Manners:

While most scorpions are only irritating if they sting a human, approximately 25 species of scorpions have deadly stingers that can kill people.",
"Glowing From Beyond the Grave:
The hyaline cuticle, which makes a scorpion glow under UV light, is also present in scorpion fossils!",
"Growing Pains:
The oldest known scorpions have lived for around 25 years.
Scorpions typically live between 2 and 10 years; however, it takes a scorpion between 2 to 6 years to reach sexual maturity.
As it matures to adulthood, a young scorpion may molt up to six different times to grow and become an adult.",
"They Grow Up So Fast!
When scorpions are born, they are small and pale. The mother carries her babies on her back after giving birth, and within a few weeks, the young scorpions are able to find food and shelter on their own.",
"As Far as the Eyes Can See:
The scorpion has six to twelve eyes but still has terrible eyesight.
Scorpions have one pair of eyes at the center of what could be considered their heads. The creatures have two to five additional pairs of eyes on its body.
The scorpion uses their eyes to distinguish between light and dark, help them to avoid the sunlight, and see in the dark of the night.",
