Scorpion Habits :
Scorpions are nocturnal, predatory animals that feed on a variety of insects, spiders, centipedes, and other scorpions.
The larger scorpions occasionally feed on vertebrates, such as smaller lizards, snakes, and mice. Prey are located primarily by sensing vibrations.
Although scorpions are equipped with venom to defend themselves, scorpions fall prey to many types of creatures, such as centipedes, tarantulas, insectivorous lizards, birds (especially owls), and mammals (including shrews, grasshopper mice, bats).
Scorpions feed mainly on insects and spiders and can survive without feeding for six months.
During the day scorpions hide under stones, in piles of rocks, in cracks in masonry, in wood piles and under the bark of trees.
Scorpions enter structures seeking water and shelter.
