Scorpions: The Night-Glowing Survivors
Scorpions are fascinating creatures! They belong to the group of animals called arachnids, just like spiders. Scorpions live in many different places, from deserts to rainforests. They have eight legs and a pair of pincers to catch their food. But the coolest part is their tail, which bends over their body and carries a stinger. They use this stinger to defend themselves and hunt. Did you know there are over 2,000 types of scorpions? And not all of them are dangerous to us. In fact, only about 25 species can harm humans with their venom. Scorpions use their venom mainly to paralyze their prey, not to harm humans. And here's a fun fact - scorpions glow bright blue or green under ultraviolet light! This helps them hide and protect themselves. Scorpions play an important role in our ecosystem by controlling the population of pests. So, while they might look a bit scary, they are actually pretty cool and help keep our world balanced.
