Scorpion Identification
Scorpions belong to the arachnid class since they have eight legs. With a set of front pincers and a stinger, scorpions are fairly identifiable to the locals of Odenville, Alabama. The scorpion species native to Alabama average up to 2 inches in length. With their wander lust, scorpions commonly infiltrate homes and businesses in Alabama.
Hentz & Southern Devil Scorpions
In Alabama, the Hentz striped scorpion is the most common as well as the southern unstriped scorpion, also called southern devil scorpion. Scorpions are not nest builders but rather find safety and shelter beneath loose tree bark (especially of dead trees and stumps), fallen snags, logs, stones, and wood piles. They will also find refuge within pine nuggets, pine straw, and mulch.
Scorpion Stings
Generally, scorpions are opportunistic predators of invertebrates and include insects and spiders as well as other arthropods small enough for them to subdue in their diets. They will often ambush their prey and using the stinger situated at the tip of the tail, they will inject the victim with lethal venom. After their victims are subdued, they use their pincers to grab and tear apart their prey. Venom is only lethal to small insects and spiders and the scorpion species native to Alabama are not usually a serious concern to humans or their pets. However, the sting can be quite painful with a sharp feeling accompanied by a burning sensation that is usually short-lived and some may experience swelling for a few days.
