The most dangerous scorpion is the "Deathstalker" or Leiurus quinquestriatus which is prevalent in North Africa and the Middle East.

Scorpions glow when exposed to an unltraviolet light, like a blacklight, due to florescent chemicals in the cuticle.

During courtship, the scorpions grasp the pedipalps (pinchers) and perform a dance called the "promenade à deux."

Scorpions don't bite they "sting."

There are more than 1500 species of scorpion worldwide.

California and Arizona have the greatest diversity of scorpions with about 60 species.

Scorpions are nocturnal and hide during the day. Some species will hide under rocks, logs, and in cracks, other species will dig and hide in burrows. The videos below are from our Nocturnal Treasures Tour!
