Little poem from Greek mythology
My friend, there is a scorpion under every stone.
Beware of his attacks and his secret tricks.
Scorpion
Written by Wang Jiaxin
Looking through the mountains of stones
Not a single scorpion, this is my boyhood
p>
Which year and day did it happen?
Now I am back on this mountain
The pine trees in the early years have become thick and thick, just in the cracks and reddish brown of the rocks
A scorpion raised its tail
Walks towards me
Looking at the scorpion
In an instant I became the gravel under its feet
< p>Posting some information about scorpions may be useful.For the ancient Chinese, snakes symbolized both good and bad aspects, but scorpions were purely vicious. According to the Persians, the scorpion was a favorite of the devil, sent by the devil to destroy all life by attacking the testicles of the sacred cow whose blood could impregnate the entire universe. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew king Rehoboam threatened to punish his people, not with ordinary whips, but with scorpion whips. In Greek mythology, the scorpion killed Orion, a proud giant whom Diana loved. In short, scorpions have always played a cruel killer role in human history. There is no doubt that scorpions are unlovable. They are not afraid of anyone and may bite you to death or give you epilepsy.
Scorpions are eight-legged reptilian relatives of spiders and other arthropods that are active mainly at night. They are the largest, most vicious, longest-lived, most sensitive, most maternal, least paternal, and most luminous of the arthropods and insects. They are perhaps the world's oldest animals, and possess some characteristics that make them appear to be extremely modern mammals.
It can emit light under ultraviolet light. Its exoskeleton is very hard and feels like nails. It can reflect ultraviolet beams from the moon and other light sources, and the reflection intensity is very high, even for a black Scorpions also show green or pink fluorescence. Fossilized scorpions from 300 million years ago can still emit strong light when illuminated by ultraviolet light, perhaps to attract insects.
Scorpions have undergone some changes since about 400 million years ago. Scorpions were considered pioneers at that time. They were the first to complete the crawl from the ocean to land. After arriving on land, scorpions are distributed over a wide geographical range (before, I only thought they were mostly found in deserts). In fact, there are more than 1,500 known species of scorpions occupying every ecological field and hiding in every road. Inside the crack: tropical rainforest, temperate forest, desert, grassland. Fat scorpions cruise the high slopes of the Himalayas, fourteen thousand feet above sea level. It is estimated that there are more than a thousand varieties scattered everywhere, with their tails raised high, waiting for some lucky discovery.
All known scorpion species are carnivores and are poisonous. The venom in 25% of species is enough to cause death. The venom is hidden in glands at the back of the tail and acts like a whip, stinging its victim in a fraction of a second, sometimes repeatedly. The venom contains more than 30 neurotoxins, each of which can be placed on a specific target. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
