Facts About Scorpion by Pascalynboy: 10:59pm On Sep 03, 2023
This scorpion is able to hold its breath for up to six days, can go a whole year without eating, can climb practically any surface, and fluoresce under ultraviolet light, which means it reflects the light and appears to glow.

The emperor scorpion, Pandinus imperator, is a large and impressive arachnid that lives in the rainforests and savannas of West Africa. It can grow up to 20 cm in length and weigh up to 28 g, making it one of the largest scorpions in the world. It has a shiny black exoskeleton, powerful pincers, and a venomous stinger at the end of its long tail. However, its venom is mild and rarely used, as it prefers to crush its prey with its claws.

The emperor scorpion is a carnivore that feeds mainly on insects and termites and can survive for a long time without food or water. It is a burrowing animal that likes to hide under leaf litter, logs, or termite mounds. It is also a social animal that can live in groups with other scorpions.

The emperor scorpion is also protected by CITES to prevent overexploitation and habitat loss. It has a unique feature that makes it glow green or blue under ultraviolet light, which may help it find mates or avoid predators

I wailed like a toddler during the 1st and 2nd stings. I remember my grandma giving me onions to eat like a goat. cheesy
The most painful (2nd) was a female scropion with "babies" Chai😭

The subsequent stings I didn't cry, but the pains were much. There was a time my heart beat stopped cuz I was so f.cked.

That thing is evil, although I HV never experienced it's sting, just wondering if it strikes and no one get to know what happened to an individual?

cheapest countries to live and work

1. Vietnam

For those wanting to live and work in an exotic place, but not pay a fortune, Vietnam is any budget travelers dream. It’s one of the best and cheapest countries to live in for expats. Although Vietnam is still a bit of an insider tip when it comes to cheap countries in which to live and travel, there’s plenty to see and do. Vietnam has stunning landscapes to explore, delicious local cuisine for foodies and is also somewhat of an adventure travel destination.

The main cities are Ho Chi Minh city in the south, capital Hanoi in the north, and Da Nang in the center of the country. Most jobs will be found in these cities.

The currency, Vietnamese Dong, is currently worth around VND23,000 to $1 and is one of the few currencies that has weakened relative to the dollar in recent years.
