    Scorpions are not insects. Both scorpions and insects belong to the class Arthropods, but scorpions belong to the class Myriapoda, whereas insects belong to the class Insecta. The body of an insect basically consists of three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen, while the body of a scorpion consists of a slender body, a chelica, and a tail with curved segments and a stinger.

    Scorpions belong to wild protected animals, and the protection of wild animals starts from themselves, refuses to buy and sell wild animal products, and does not interfere with the free life of wild animals.

    At present, the consumption of rare and endangered wild animals in society is not only a bad social habit, but also one of the reasons for the repeated prohibition of illegal hunting and killing of rare and endangered wild animals. If there is no trade, there is no killing, and the consumption of wild animals is not eliminated, they do not belong on the table.
