European scorpion
European scorpion (Euscorpius flavicaudis), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Scorpions belong to the arachnid family, having eight legs and a body divided into two segments.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a European scorpion, Euscorpius flavicaudis. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the image reveals the mesmerizing beauty of this venomous arachnid. With its eight legs and segmented body, the scorpion is an intriguing member of the arachnid family. The photograph highlights two distinct features that make scorpions fearsome predators in their natural habitat. Firstly, their powerful pincers or chelae are perfectly adapted for capturing and killing prey. These lethal appendages demonstrate both strength and precision. Secondly, at the end of its tail lies a menacing sting called a telson. This venomous weapon allows scorpions to defend themselves against threats or immobilize their prey before devouring it. While all scorpions possess venom, this particular species found in southern England is relatively harmless to humans. Interestingly, it is believed that these European scorpions arrived from Africa through imported fruit shipments—a testament to nature's ability to adapt and thrive even in foreign environments. Through this vividly colored SEM image, we gain insight into the world of these enigmatic creatures—reminding us of both their significance within our ecosystem and their awe-inspiring complexity as part of Earth's diverse wildlife.
