Found a mother scorpion hiding in a concrete block, under a log with the babies living on her back.
Caretaker's note: The Striped Bark Scorpion is so named because it is often found hiding in dark, cool places under dead vegetation, fallen logs, under rocks, under boards and debris. Scorpions are non-insect arthropods and typically nocturnal. This species is common in Texas. The sting can be painful, but never lethal.
The young climb on the mothers back soon after birth and molt. The young may molt as many as six times before maturity. Scorpions have a keen sense of touch and smell. They sense the movement of it's prey through chemical receptor organs on the underside as they walk. They are beneficial to humans by reducing local insect populations including crickets, flies, beetles and other small insects.
