Scorpion breath

Bonus Fun Fact: Scorpions can hold their breath for up to 6 days. We’re talking about the desert-dwelling arachnids, not the band.

Bonus Bonus Fun Fact: Arachnids, the class of animals that scorpions, spiders, and ticks belong to, aren’t insects. Insects, such as beetles, butterflies, and grasshoppers, are in a completely different class of critter. Arachnids are more-closely related to horseshoe crabs than they are to insects.

That’s all for today.

An anatomically incorrect scorpion, as generated by AI. At least it has the right amount of legs and gives the general impression of a scorpion. I don’t know why I chose this image, other than it looks cool and a lot like a Dungeons and Dragons monster.
