A stack of scorpions: Human mamas (and papas) carry their newborns on their back. Scorpions are no different. Newborn scorpions, called scorplings, instinctively know that Mom’s back is a safe space. Scorpions protect their babies from predators by giving them rides under their venomous tail. The young are carried for a week or two, until their exoskeleton hardens, and they can live on their own. (Pictured above, a female Edward’s bark scorpion stands completely covered by her offspring.)

Did you just get a new tarantula or spiderling or maybe you're thinking about getting one soon and you're worried about how to feed something that small? Check out my NEW video on feeding spiderlings and scorplings!
Very happy Chaerilus sp “Java” mom with her new brood.

@pleasedontanalyzeme submitted: Hi! I found this dude in a bucket of water with mosquito larvae in my house (I was using it to water plants). I live in the Phoenix area in AZ.
Any ideas?
Also, have a bonus pic from my scorpion (C. Sculpturatus) tank
Looks like a mosquito pupa to me! Here's a good photo of a larva next to a pupa. Oooooooooh that scorp has babies!! Precious. Please tell each and everyone one of the scorpions and the scorplings that I love them deeply :)
