Description
Scientific Name: Isometrus maculatus
The body of the lesser brown scorpion is mostly brown with few black spots. Due to the presence of enormous pedipalps and four pairs of terminally clawed legs, they can be identified by their crab-like look. Additionally, they have a lengthy, meaty tail. They have a lengthy, five-segmented tail that is meaty and long. Their tails have a conspicuous still at the end of a bulbous sac that is filled with non-lethal venom potent enough to cause considerable pain and swelling in humans. Additionally, they have tiny real jaws that are partially hidden from view by the top of their carapace.
Habitat
Although it is native to Asia, the lesser brown scorpion can be found in Hawaii, Oahu, and Maui. Lesser brown scorpions like humid, tropical environments. These scorpions prefer to reside in warm climates and conceal themselves in moist regions under loose rocks, loose bark from downed trees, piles of timber, debris and boards. These scorpions do not live in arid or desert regions, despite the fact that they love warm temperatures.
Behavior
Scorpions are nocturnal animals, which means that they are solitary creatures that are most active at night. They prefer to remain alone under loose rocks and in holes, where they might live in sizable groups or nest together.
As Pet
It can consume its smaller counterparts, has a terrible sting, is nocturnal, very clean, and needs little upkeep. It is also thought that the species were originally brought into more recent locations as a result of the pet trade. Due to human activity, they have spread well beyond their endemic region.
The cannibalistic scorpions devour smaller scorpions of their own species or those of other scorpion species. While molting, they also prey on people who are the same size as them. They eat small rodents, lizards, spiders, millipedes, insects, and spider webs. It is also known that mother scorpions would eat their own young.
