## Caption

Photo by joelsartore | A female Edward’s bark scorpion stands completely covered by her offspring. Scorpions give live birth, with many providing safety from predators by giving their babies a ride under their venomous tail. The young are carried on the mother’s back for a week or two, until their exoskeleton hardens and they can live on their own. To see more species featured in the Photo Ark, follow me joelsartore. #scorpion #arachnid #babies #venom #animal #wildlife #wildlifephotography #studioportrait #animalphotography #PhotoArk
