is this possible? http://digfrenzy.com/video/234
yeah saw that too. thats gotta be it. aren't scorps immune to their own toxins?If you watch there are bubbles around the rim of that countainer, leading me to believe they have some sort of poison or somthing in with it that cause this. Watch for the bubbles, they move and pop.
I'm not sure about their own venom but venom from the same species is certainly fatalThat was distasteful! The scorpion was poisoned and then was said to have killed itself by its own venom...I see no honor in that!
Scorpions are immune to their own venom, but I believe an envenomation directly in the "bloodstream" is fatal...I am not certain though.
Their own venom shouldn't harm them. I think that this could make an interesting discussion...I'm not sure about their own venom but venom from the same species is certainly fatal
Could you please post links to or quotes from actual laboratory tests that have proven a scorpion never stings itself? That would go a long way to clarifying and resolving this apparently millenniums old debate. I've searched and got nothing but great gobs of goo about this. IE, are they entirely incapable, usually incapable, cannot or won't under normal circumstances, can if unusual circumstances are in effect, can during mating rituals, etc etc etc.Let's stick to the original question: can a scorpion kill itself by their own venom? No, because they don't sting themselves.......
