General Scorpion Information
There are multiple types of scorpions in Arizona - they can be identified by their distinctive anatomy. Scorpions have two crab like pinchers, an elongated body, and a segmented tail that arches over their body which is tipped with a venomous stinger. Scorpion species vary in size from ½ to 2 inches - and baby scorpions usually measure about ¼ inch. Scorpions have poor vision; Scorpions are nocturnal; Scorpions are predatory; however most scorpions are not poisonous.
Scorpion stings are comparable to a bee or wasp sting - with swelling, and localized pain.
Exception: The Arizona bark scorpion's venom is strong enough to kill a person, although death is rare.

The larger scorpions occasionally feed on vertebrates, such as smaller lizards, snakes, and mice. Prey is located primarily by sensing vibrations. The scropion flattens its body into cracks as thin as a credit card or a dime, allowing it to enter windows, doors, and any crack or crevice - seeking food, water and shelter. Scorpions are most active at night, during the seasons when temperatures are 75 degrees and above. Scorpion bodies vary in color between yellow-brown, light tan, reddish brown, and black. Under a black light (ultraviolet light), they glow a bright florescent green.

| Why
do scorpions glow in the dark? |
All
scorpions glow in the dark-even after death, even fossilized!
A thin, transparent film (hyaline) in the outermost layer
(cuticle) of their exoskeleton contains a protein that
fluoresces. At night in the Arizona desert, you can see
scorpions within a 20-foot radius by shining a black light
(ultraviolet light) around. They glow green-yellow or
bright florescent green. Newly molted (babies) scorpions
don't fluoresce. As the cuticle hardens, it glows more.
Fluorescence, however, is not really 'glowing in the dark'
in the sense of emitting light on their own, without (ultraviolet)
illumination, like fireflies or light sticks. They don't
actually glow in the dark. They do, however, fluoresce
in black light (ultraviolet light) meaning that if you
shine ultraviolet light on a scorpion (dead or alive!)
then they will emit a fluorescent green glow. Even after
hundreds of millions of years, after all other cuticle
layers are lost, the hyaline layer remains, fossilized
in rocks, the scorpion still glows.
