Devil Scorpion
Thorellius tekuani
Despite their reputation, most scorpions do not set out to attack people. They are nocturnal and are more active at night, wandering around for prey. Lighter colored immature scorpions are vulnerable and reside on their mother's back for about 4 weeks until they reach their molting stage. They then shed their exoskeleton for a larger, more durable one and leave their mother after the process is complete.
