What eats a scorpion?

1. Birds: Owls, hawks, falcons, and other birds of prey are natural predators of scorpions. They can spot scorpions from the air and swoop down to capture them.

2. Reptiles: Snakes, lizards, and other reptiles feed on scorpions. Snakes, in particular, are capable of swallowing scorpions whole.

3. Mammals: Small mammals such as mongooses, meerkats, and shrews prey on scorpions. Mongooses, in particular, are known for their resistance to scorpion venom and for actively hunting them.

4. Insects: Some larger insects, such as tarantulas and centipedes, can prey on scorpions. They use their venom or pincers to subdue and consume scorpions.

5. Other Scorpions: In some cases, larger or more aggressive scorpion species may prey on smaller or weaker scorpions.

6. Parasites: Certain types of parasitic wasps lay their eggs inside scorpion eggs or young scorpions, leading to their eventual death. These parasites serve as natural population control for scorpions.
