This babe gave birth to around 20 scorplings. They used to crawl out from a sac under its mommas belly and climb up her back.A new baby every 45 mins or so.Fascinating stuff.

Thanks :)
I always thought scorps eat their babies.. thats what I had been told. But then I saw this mom..taking so much care not to hurt any of those numerous babies that kept coming out..it must have been very painful for her..for better part of 3 days she was positioned with her belly 3-4 cm's above the ground.. as those babies kept going around. It was touching.. u know.. n beautiful.. and fascinating. That's mother nature.
They look disgusting.. but are beautiful..by nature :)'
