Wikijunior:Bugs/Australian burrowing scorpion

What does it look like? edit

Australian burrowing scorpions are small Australian scorpions that have a brown bulid and sets of yellow legs. Only more than 20 species are able to make burrows. The males have longer tails with spikes, while females do not.


Spider hunting scorpions make burrows by feeding on spiders. Their stings are rarely painful, but not deadly. Buchar's scorpions and Marbled scorpions are both scorpions with highly venom levers.
