San Antonio Scorpions
Scorpions are arachnids, close relatives of ticks, mites and spiders. They are easily recognized by their characteristic shape. Scorpions prefer dry land habitats but they do occur throughout the state.
Scorpions in San Antonio can be a nuisance when they interact with humans because they will sting when disturbed. All scorpions have a long, slender body with a five-segmented tail that can be arched over the back. The tail ends in a bulb-like poison gland or stinger.
Scorpions have four pairs of legs and two large pincer-bearing arms in front. San Antonio scorpions and scorpions in the surrounding areas, are well equipped to defend themselves or attack prey with their pincers and stinger. Between the last pair of legs is a comb-like structure that is used to identify surface textures and to detect prey.
