Scorpiones is an order of arachnids that includes scorpions, known for their distinctive pincers and long, segmented tails. They are primarily found in warm, dry regions around the world, with over 1,500 species identified. Scorpions are nocturnal predators, feeding on insects and small animals, and they use their venomous stingers to subdue prey. These creatures have a hard exoskeleton and can vary in size, with some species measuring just a few centimeters while others can grow up to 20 centimeters long. Scorpions are also known for their ability to glow under ultraviolet light, a feature that helps researchers study them in the wild.
