Scorpions have 8 legs, one pair of Pedipalps (the pincers/claws), and a 
pair on Chelicerae (small pincer like accessory mouthparts)

Useless trivia time, their anal opening is on the last segment of the 
tail (postabdomen) before the stinging apparatus and barb.

For a really spectacular show, place a scorpion under an Ultraviolet 
light source...  They fluoresce, some species more spectacularly than 
others.

Actually, this might be useful if you want to go scorpion spotting at 
night, simply take along a UV light source.

I'll stop waffling now, but as you may have gathered, I like 
invertebrates :)

Oh, and as far as the animation goes, I sort of like it, but that floor 
texture really interferes with seeing what their legs are doing (maybe 
this was the whole point of it)

Bye for now,
