Video: Mating of eight-foot assassin

The two scorpions perform movements like dancing during mating. Then the male scorpion ran fast to prevent his partner from eating it.

A male scorpion crawls out of the cave to search for a partner. He started shaking his body when he saw a female scorpion nearby. The feathers on the male scorpion body vibrate vigorously to attract the attention of the female. Immediately the scorpion approached. The male scorpion holds the female's pliers and the two start a dance. In fact, the male scorpion is trying to lead the female to the place where it will put the sperm cell. When "she" proved insecure, "guy" immediately injected a bit of venom into the partner's body to "she" calmly.

To the appropriate location, the scorpion male put the spermatic pouch on the ground and instructed the female to keep the bag. The scorpion puts the sperm cell into its genital cap. The bag will then break so that sperm enters the female body. The fertilization process can last from 1 to 25 hours, depending on whether the male finds the right place to put the ejaculate bag quickly or slowly. If the process takes too long, the scorpion will be impatient and give up.

After mating, male scorpions quickly leave the scene due to fear of the scorpion's ability to suddenly crave meat for their partners.
