Not sure tbh. It's not my scorpion. I just found the picture. It could be pregnant, pre-molt, or just fat.

Can insects become fat?

Are spiders insects? I always forget. But at least spiders can become fat, it goes into their abdomen iirc.

Scorpions are arachnids, too. Never considered they could get chunky.

Insects have 6 legs and 3 well defined body sections.

Spiders are arachnids

Arthropod, thats the word I was looking for. (yeah, thats a higher tier, i know.)

No. They can grow, but they don't gain fat like other animals can/do. Their size is almost entirely limited by availability of food, temperature, and oxygen concentrations. Thats why you get puppy sized Tarantulas in jungles, and tiny wasps in deserts

Also: this is an arachnid. Same concept though.

Thanks.

Puppy sized tarantulas is scary to think about.

They can definitely be oversized, although "fat" might not be the right term. Although scorpions are technically arachnids, not insects.

Sure, with enough parasites inside. Scorpions are athropods like insects, but insects are only those with 6 little legs.
