Just curious - do anoles eat scorpions, or do they avoid stingy-type
insects in favor of easier prey? -Dave |

I figure the scorpion would sting and kill the anole before it could eat it. But I do not know this for a FACT.  |

G (kidding, kidding... don't anyone get all spun up) -- Mike Harris Austin TX Not a joke actually... ;-) When I was a Sophomore in College, I used to collect some of the "local" scorpions as pets. One of the females had babies and like scorpions do, she carried them on her back. I tried to provide them with food (baby mealworms) but the mother scorpion died. Her babies sucked her dry. Then the crickets I'd put in the tank to feed her ate the baby scorpions....... -- Peace, Om Remove extra . to validate e-mails.

The best way we ever found to control scorpions was a small flock of pet mallard ducks. They never hesitated to eat scorpions! -- Peace, Om Remove extra . to validate e-mails.

Scorpions _are_ "bugs"! Really? I thought they were an invertebrate, some kind of crab-type creature. Guess I'll have to look them up. But not right now, got stuff to do. Cindy |

Cindy Scorpions are in the same "Order" as spiders. They are an arachnid due to the possession of 8 legs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpion Classification of living creatures goes as follows: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species I believe that scorpions are in the class "Insecta". And yes, I did some googling to check my memory from when I took Zoology back in college... After all, it's been slightly over 20 years. G But it was a subject that fascinated me. :-) BTW, insects are all "invertebrates". Crabs are crustaceans. Scorpions are not crustaceans. Cheers! :-) -- Peace, Om Remove extra . to validate e-mails.

Insects - including "true" bugs (insecta), spiders and scorpions (arachnida) and crabs (crustacea) are all arthropods. Of course some folks consider anything creepy-crawly to be a "bug."

I like snakes, spiders are cool, most critters are at least interesting, but scorpions for me are one of those repulsive creatures that just have no reason for being. A purely personal reaction (phobia?) and one I don't need a lecture on.  Cindy |
