A single scorpion can kill more than 10,000 harmful insects such as locusts a year. The mass capture of scorpions has led to a sharp decline in their populations, resulting in the proliferation of harmful insects, seriously damaging the ecological balance and causing damage to crops. According to experts, scorpions are produced in three years and reproduce only once a year, with the breeding period from June to September.
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 an elongated body, a chelicera, and a tail with curved segments and a stinger.

Scorpions are mostly nocturnal. Once it encounters its prey, it immediately clamps it with its foot whiskers, hooks its tail, and injects venom with its tail spines to poison its prey, and some poisonous scorpions can even kill people.
Scorpions are not only ferocious to their prey, but also cruel to their own "loved ones". Before mating, male and female scorpions have their feet pincered and dance with their arms crossed, which can last for several hours. Once the male has completed fertilization, the female will be fierce and bite the male to death for food.

Scorpions first appeared on land in the Silulian period 430 million years ago and belonged to the arachnids. The most special thing about its appearance is that it has a tail that is raised high and resembles a lute.
Moreover, this is its main weapon against the enemy, and its lethality cannot be underestimated. Adult scorpions are generally 50-60 mm long, and the entire surface of the body is a highly chitin crust, and the body is distinctly segmented.
The body of a scorpion consists of a head, thorax, abdomen, and tail. The body is yellow, and the abdomen and limbs are lighter. The head and thorax are composed of six segments, trapezoidal, and the back is covered with a cephalic carapace.
On the back of the body** there is a pair of middle eyes, 3 lateral eyes on each side of the anterior end, and 6 pairs of appendages. The anterior abdomen is broad and consists of 7 segments. The posterior abdomen is a long, flexible and narrow part consisting of 5 segments and a caudal spine.
