Water scorpion
The Eurasian water scorpion is a water bug, not a true scorpion. It lives in ponds, small rivers and still water across much of Europe, North Africa and Asia. It is an insect that spends its life in the water.1

怎样认出它
- Has a pair of half-tubes at the rear end of the body that lock together to form a breathing siphon.1
- Pushes the tip of this breathing tube above the water surface to take in air.1
- Young ones have no developed siphon and instead breathe through six pairs of spiracles (small breathing holes) along the abdomen.1
毒液之力
它咬的时候,毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。
它对人有多危险?

如果它咬人
- 被毛毛虫的蜇毛扎到:用胶带把毛粘掉,再清洗皮肤。不要揉。
- 被咬:清洗并冷敷。如果感到不适或容易出血,就去看医生。

事实
Adults breathe through a tube at the rear of the body. The two half-tubes lock together to form a siphon that carries air down to the breathing tubes (tracheae) inside the abdomen.1
Young water scorpions do not have a siphon yet. They breathe through six pairs of spiracles along the abdomen.1
The eggs are laid inside plant stems. Each egg has seven filaments that float freely in the water.1
It lives in still or slow water such as ponds and small rivers.1
