Can you keep a velvet ant and a small scorpion together?

Might make a desert vivarium with desert beetles, isopods, millipedes, velvet ants, scorpions, and maybe more.

I've kept desert beetles with Hadrurus and in a different enclosure have also cohabited them with velvet ants. Species like blue death feigning beetles are too well armored to be of interest to the scorpion and don't bother the ants. That being said I'm pretty sure a scorpion would try eating a velvet ant, don't mix those two. I think beetles, velvet ants, and isopods is fairly doable though. If I was going to keep millipedes I'd put them in their own enclosure where I could manage substrate a little more strictly since it's important they are on a good substrate that is refreshed periodically.
