Fatgs

Thanks to a low metabolic rate, these scorpions can go for long periods without food, surviving on as few as four or five woodlice per year.1

The UK population is thought to have arrived in the early 19th century in a shipment of Italian masonry.1

In 2013 the British colony numbered 10,000 to 15,000 individuals, making it the northernmost population of scorpions outside the Americas.1

Cannibalism has been noted in colonies of this scorpion.1
