Before all that, I would like to show off this brutal encounter a feeder cricket had with my old scorpion, Artemis.
Witnessing one of these feedings was rare. I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and my camera was handy. I almost felt bad for the cricket, as it stared at the giant, hairless ape documenting its demise.
I was also able to get a nice side view.
I'm still largely confused about how scorpion faces work, but I think you can make out part of the scorpion's chelae ripping through the cuticle and muscle of the cricket. Any links to a good diagram of scorpion mouth parts are welcome!
