Scorpions: Telling Males from Females

Tuesday August 21, 2007
Determining the sex of scorpions can be a bit tricky. For emperor scorpions (the ones most commonly kept as pets) and some other species there is one structure that can help you tell the difference between males and females, although it can take a bit of experience to get good at telling the difference. Curious? See "How Can I Tell the Sex of an Emperor Scorpion?" for the details.
