There's probably about 1500 species of scorpions. It's easy to distinguish the difference between a lot of them just by looking at the size and shape of the palps. I love my spider, but I find my scorpion more interesting even though he just sits there. He doesn't go after his prey, he waits for it to come to him, so he's somewhat boring to watch. However, what I like about them (much better than spiders) is that they're viviparous. That's very uncommon among arachnids. If no one has ever seen them eat, it's funny. It's kind of like watching a person eat with their hands. It's really cute, actually.
