FOODIE FRIDAY: Here’s Yuma the desert hairy scorpion eating a cricket. Did you know that a large portion of the hairy scorpion diet consists of…other scorpions? These intensely competitive arachnids also eat insects, lizards and small mammals. They use their front pedipalps and chelae, or claws, to grab their prey before delivering a venomous sting with their tail. In turn, these hardy scorpions make tasty meals for larger lizards, owls and — you guessed it — other scorpions. #yumathedeserthairy
