Scorpions are small Arachnids.  Some can be as small as 1 inch others grow over 7 inches long.

You may also notice two stripes going down the posinous scopions back. In the front they have large claws, which they can grasp insects with.  They have a segmented body and eight legs.  They can be found at nighttime with a black light because they glow.  Why do they glow in the dark? They glow because in their exoskeletons there is a coating of protein that reflects the black light. 

What’s an Exoskeleton?

An Exoskeleton is the lungs of a Scorpion.  Humans have lungs to breathe through while Scorpions have an outer shell called the Exoskeleton.  Rather than breathing through their mouths, Scorpions breathe through their sides.  That’s why when you step on a Scorpion it makes a “crunch” sound, it’s because you’re breaking its Exoskeleton.  The Exoskeleton also makes it visible at night with a black light; Scorpions will glow under its light.
