no, this is what scorpions in Arizona eat... this is usually what they are eating when I find them during SpringSo this is what people in Arizona feed scorpions. Huh.
I was joking haha. I didn't know that though. Cool.no, this is what scorpions in Arizona eat... this is usually what they are eating when I find them during Spring
Maybe a lot of people think desert hairy scorpions just eat house crickets in the wild, but they don't. In the spring they eat S. viridis while there are millions of them, because by June the ground dries out and 99% of the centipedes die. So this is a peek into the natural feeding habits of this animal that you won't normally get. Enjoy!What's the point of this? Neither of those are feeder animals.
Thanks for more of an explanation. You might be able to guess why some people would feel that putting such creatures together in an enclosed area, with so many similar videos being labeled or implied as "fights", would be wrong.Maybe a lot of people think desert hairy scorpions just eat house crickets in the wild, but they don't.

I don't think so. I hear this argument all the time. Yes, crickets can RARELY harm a predator. However you're comparing a species with powerful, venomous killing claws, and the ability to kill prey much larger than itself with an opportunistic scavenger. I just dont see a cricket mortally wounding a scorpion unless it is of equal, or greater size, and even then any injury incurred would likely be due to negligence, like a freshly molted scorpion being left unattended with a bunch of lively crickets.So can crickets......non-discussion imo
