The Glass House of the Scorpion

Pictured is me with a mounted scorpion (probably Pandinus imperator) in a clear plastic case. This photo was taken in my biology 11 classroom. Scorpions are members of the class Arachnida (animals with four pairs of jointed legs) with a front pair of legs modified into grasping claws and a tail ending with a venemous stinger. They are strict carnivores, and can be found in regions all around the world.
