Whip scorpion

Whip scorpions are nocturnal in habits and feed mainly on insects like grasshoppers and cockroaches, and they also eat slugs and worms. They seize the prey in between their two pedipalps and crush them between their special teeth on the inner part of the trochanters (leg's second segment) of their front legs. During the day they conceal themselves in damp places, under stones, fallen logs, bark of trees and crevices.
