Amazonian scorpion - Amazonian foothills, Ecuador
Scorpions are typically associated with dwelling under ground or under rocks in deserts. While there are certainly species that occupy those niches, there are many that live in the wet tropics and well above the ground sometimes too. This little scorpion was found in this plant axil, I was looking for poison frogs which love these little water filled hollows in the plants. This was at about chest height and although not what I was looking for I wasn't really surprised to see this little scorpion hanging out just above the water. Peeking into these little water filled pools I often see beetles, spiders, katydids and the occasional frog, makes sense that there might be an occasional scorpion as well.

Yesterday, when we found two scorpions hiding under some flower pots we decided to test if they really are fluorescent. We put the scorpions in a small bowl with some sand, and placed them under a UV lamp. Sure enough the critters glowed bluish green. When they didn't move they looked a lot like plastic toys.
(I like that when scorpions rest they don't move at all. You can take close-up pictures with multi-second exposures, and they come out sharp.)

ACHTUNG: Fliegender Skorpion. Die Skorpionsfliegen (Panorpidae) sind wirklich faszinierend. Das Genitalsegment der Männchen erinnert an Skorpionsstachel produziert im Falle dieser Fliegen aber Lockstoffe die Weibchen anlocken. Diese erhalten meist ein sog. Paarungsgeschenk z.B. andere tote Insekten und sind davon so beeindruckt, dass es zur Kopulation kommen kann.
Image name : Scorpion Nebula
Description: Dark scorpion.
A dark nebula or dark cloud is a part of a molecular cloud that is so dense with hydrogen and dust particles that even light cannot escape it. Therefore, dark and cold darkness cannot be observed directly in visible light, but we can in radio or infrared radiation. Thanks to the stars located in front of and near the dark nebula and the illuminated gas emitted by newborn stars or Herbig-Haro objects, we can record and observe interesting dark shapes that remind us of living, sometimes dangerous creatures on Earth, in this case, a scorpion.
These dark scorpion-shaped clouds are composed of dark molecular clouds, some of which are listed in the LDN (1147, 1148, 1155, 1158, 1137, 1152) and some in the LBN catalog (448), along with more protostars or Herbig–Haro objects. (HH 215, 415, 315, 375, 376) who manage to break out of the pitch darkness.
In the far right part of the photo, the dark part of the cloud that looks like the entrance to the hole is illuminated by the HH object 214, i.e. the protostar PV Cephei (seen as a reddish dot), which ejects two jets of gas and dust in opposite directions. This resulting nebula is called the Gyulbudaghian Nebula. In the lower part, the small orange semicircle is the nebula illuminated by HH object 376.

Designed: December 2014
Folded: Started May 2015 (base), finished February 2016 (shaping)
Paper: 39,4cm * 39,4cm Origamido paper
Final length of the model: 11,5cm
Time to fold: 4 hours
I was so happy when I succeeded in designing a scorpion, because I love it for his elegance shape.
Unfortunately when I was folding it I didn't invested much patience in folding the base, so I first was unsure to complete it. But now I've decided to finish it. From this perspective the model looks quite good, but from other angles you can see the numerous mistakes I did. Actually the legs should all have different length but you can't see it in the final result somehow. I regret that very much and I hope that I will find time to fold this design again and make it better!

The Scorpion fly (so called due to the curled over tail like a sting on a scorpion) loves an easy meal and they are expert's at removing fly's caught in spiders webs without becoming trapped themselves. The spider watches from the other side of the web.

Finally I am able to upload something again! It feels like ages, but that's probably because of the time I put into this build. This is a remake of set 5918 Scorpion Tracker from 1918. I tried to add a lot of details that are missing in the original set. You could say the Adventures theme is my favorite although it was before my time. Anyway, the struggle was worth it and I'm very happy with the finished product.
I discovered this chap in my Little Karoo farm cottage on Friday night… fortunately scorpions fluoresce when lit with an ultra-violet light… so fortunately it didn’t take me too long to find him. And thankfully he wasn’t moving around too much… giving me enough time to setup my tripod and capture him in all his fluorescent glory!!
All scorpions glow in the dark… even after death… and even when fossilized! A thin, transparent film (called hyaline) in the outermost layer (or cuticle) of their exoskeleton contains a protein that fluoresces under UV (ultra-violet) light. Newly molted scorpions don’t fluoresce... but as the cuticle hardens, it glows more. The hylane skin toughens into an incredible substance. Even after hundreds of millions of years… after all other cuticle layers are lost… the hyaline layer still remains… fossilized in the rocks. And it still glows!!
Scientists still don’t really understand exactly why scorpions fluoresce. Maybe it helps these antisocial creatures to locate each other in the dark… to either stay away (usually), or to find a mate. Scorpions hunt at night and gladly eat fellow scorpions. In fact, mating is an extremely dangerous activity (to the smaller, usually male, partner).

Here the crease pattern for my scorpion. It's not the best looking CP but the final result looks good and for me that is what matters.
There are 3 points on the tail, the middle point is used and the other 2 are folded inside the model. Grid of 52, hope you guys like it :D
Male scorpion fly. I've taken quite a few photos of these over the summer, but this is the first shot where I've been happy with the details in the 'scorpion tail'.
I saw this today at Chambers Farm Wood, Lincs - was quite surprised to see one because I thought it was a bit late in the year for them.

This is how scorpions glow when under a UV spectrum light. My son and I used a UV flashlight to spot and capture scorpions in the Eastern Utah desert near Klondike Bluffs. They really do glow when in the UV light and easy to spot.
After over 8 months of international collaboration, I can finally present you the large scorpion anatomy poster! It’s a huge step forward in terms of quality and complexity. It contains over 30 images and over 2800 words written only for this poster!

Scorpions are one of the least popular denizens of the Southwest deserts, although interesting critters. That sharp stinger on the end of their tail can inject a powerful venom, though it is seldom lethal. In Mexico, for instance, 200,000 people are stung by scorpions every year, of whom 300 die.
I have not seen many in my 24 years of living in the desert. I did, however, once find a young one in the shower, with no idea of how it could have gotten there. When you move to the desert, you are advised to shake out your shoes before you put them on in the morning, since a scorpion could have crawled into the shoe overnight. Check out Wikipedia for interesting facts about these strange creatures.
