Scorpion facts
Untitled document

scorpion1There are almost 2,000 scorpion species, but only 30 or 40 have strong enough poison to seriously harm a person. The many types of venom are effectively tailored to their users' lifestyles, however, and are highly selected for effectiveness against that species' chosen prey.

Scorpions have two venom glands that produce venom used in hunting and self defense. Scorpions do not have bones instead they have an exoskeleton made of chitin, the same thing our fingernails are composed of.
There are more than 30 species of scorpions found in Arizona and Nevada. Most common in the Las Vegas, Henderson and Phoenix area is the Bark Scorpion (Centruroides exilicauda) which also happens to be the most venomous and only lethal scorpion in Nevada and Arizona. The sting of the Bark Scorpion is can be fatal to young children, the elderly and those who are allergic to the venom.
