What is the life cycle of a scorpion?
First off, scorpions start their life in a tiny egg, but not the kind of eggs you find in a chicken coop! They’re inside their mom until they’re ready to hatch. When they do, it’s straight onto their mom’s back!
These tiny scorpions ride around with their mom, safe and sound until they’re ready to venture off on their own as adults.
Now, here’s where everything gets interesting so hang on tight! Scorpions go through a phase called ‘molting’ where they shed their old skin and grow a new one.
Imagine getting too big for your clothes and just stepping out of them to reveal a brand-new outfit underneath! That’s what scorpions do, several times until they become full-grown adults.
Adult scorpions like to be alone. They meet up with other scorpions only to dance (yes, wiggle!) and make baby scorpions. After that, it’s back to solo adventures, hunting at night, and keeping our gardens pest-free!
And there you have it, the exciting life cycle of a scorpion! From hatching on their mother’s back, changing their ‘clothes’ a few times, to becoming the cool, nocturnal hunters we know. What a great journey, right?
