Scorpions, unlike insects, belong to the arachnid family along with spiders, mites, and ticks.
Prior to mating, they engage in a courtship ritual that resembles a dance, lasting from minutes to hours.
Some baby scorpions remain with their mother for up to 2 years.
Scorpions possess chemicals in their exoskeleton that emit a glow under UV light.
They are considered to be among the earliest creatures to transition from a marine to a land habitat, predating even dinosaurs.
In the wild, scorpions can live up to 10 years, while in captivity, they can survive up to 25 years.
Apart from a prominent pair of eyes in the centre, scorpions also have 5-10 smaller eyes.
