Burrowing scorpions
Scientific name: Scorpionidae
Description
Members of the Scorpionidae family are not just the fearsome stingers many believe them to be. Though renowned for their lethal tail, most species within this group possess venom that is relatively harmless to humans, akin to a mild bee sting. Their notorious reputation often overshadows their ecological role as pest controllers, skillfully managing populations of insects and other arthropods. These fascinating creatures also exhibit a unique form of courtship known as the 'promenade à deux,' where pairs perform a delicate dance prior to mating, a behavior that contrasts starkly with their otherwise solitary existence.
