SCORPION’S SUICIDE.
Positive Evidence That the Creature
Does Kill Itself.
Imtance.t In VVhleh the Act of Self
Deitrnetlon Wan I n mint a kahl j
Wfttn e^sed—Affected
by Light.
Lord Bvron has referred to a tenden
cy of the scorpion to commit suicide
when surrounded by fire. .Naturally
enough, this has been regarded as a
poetic fiction; and a distinguished
writer lias gone so far as to say that the
“popular idea regarding scorpionio
suicide is a delusion based on an impos
sibility.” The impossibility to which
this writer refers is this: The sting of
the scorpion is in its tail, and the Ter
mination of the tail is recurved, so that
it would really be impossible for the
scorpion to sting itself on the under
part of its body. But it is not Impos
sible for the sting to penetrate the back
or even the head; and there is positive
evidence that in certain circumstances
the scorpion does commit suicide In
that way. This creature seems to be
unable to endure light; and when it is
exposed to light it seems to become so
desperate as to end its torture with its
own sting. W. G. Biddie tells this in
cident, which he himself observed In
Madras, and which he communicated
to Nature:
“One morning a servant brought to
ine a large specimen of scorpion, which,
having staid out too long in Its noc
turnal rambles, had apparently got be
wildered at daybreak and been unable
to find its way home. To keep it safe,
the creature was at once put Into a
giazect entomological case, waving a
few leisure minutes in the course of the
forenoon, I thought I would see how
my prisoner was getting on, and to
have a better view of it the case was
placed in a window in the rays of the
hot sun. The light and heat seemed to
irritate it very much, and this recalled
to my mind a story which I had read
somewhere that a scorpion, on being
surrounded with fire, had committed
suicide. I hesitated about submitting
my pet to such a terrible ordeal; but,
talcing a common botanical lens, I fo
cused the rays of the sun on its back.
The moment this was done it began to
run hurriedly about the case, hissing
ind spitting in a very' fierce way. This
sxperiment was repeated some four or
five times with like results, but on try
ing it once again the scorpion turned
its tail and plunged the stinger quick
as lightning into its own back. The
infliction of the wound was followed by
» sudden escape of fluid, and a friend
Handing by' me called out: ‘See, it has
Hung itself; it is dead;’ and surs
snough, in less than half a minute life
w as quite extinct. I have written this
orief note to show (1) that animals may
commit suicide; (2) that the poison of
certain animals may ‘be destructive to
themselves.”
An eminent writer. Dr. Allen Thomp
son, F. R. S., has contributed the fol
lowing narrative of facts observed by
it. F. Hutchinson, while living in the
summer at the baths of Sulla, in Italy'.
Mr. Hutchinson and liis family were
orv much annoyed by' the frequent in
trusion of small black scorpions in the
house, which secreted themselves
among tlie bedclothes, in shoes, and in
other articles of dress. He says:
“It tints became necessary to be con
stantlt on tlie watch for these trouble
some creatures, and to take means for
their removal and destruction. Having
been informed by the natives of the
place that the scorpion would destroy
itself if exposed 10 a sudden light, my
informant ami her friends soon became
adepts in catching the scorpions and
1 imposing of them in the manner sug
gested. This consisted in confining
tii - animal under an inverted drinking
glass or tumbler, below which a card
was inserted when the capture was
made, and then, waiting till dark, sud
denly bringing the light of a candle
near to the glass in which the animal
was confined.
“Xo sooner was this done than the
| scorpion invariably showed signs of
: great excitement, running round and
| round the interior of the tumbler with
: reckless velocity for a number of
; times. 'This state having lasted for a
minute or more, the animal becams
quiet, and. turningits tail on the hinder
part of its body over its back, brought
its recurved sTing down upon the mid
! Jle or tlie head, and, piercing it forc
ibly, in a few seconds became quite
motionless, and, in fact, quite dead.
This observation was repeated very
frequently; in truth, it was adopted as
the best plan of getting rid of the ani
mals. The young people were In the
habit of handling the scorpions with
impunity immediately after they were
so killed, and of preserving many of
them as curiosities.”
It would be difficult to prove that
suicide is an evidence of intelligence;
and it is certainly different from any
other act that is prompted by instinct,
for instinct always tends to the pres
ervation of life in the individual and
also in the species, never to its destruc
tion. Unless, therefore, there were
some reason to believe that light af
feets the physical organization of the
scorpion in such a way as to be fatally
injurious alike to the individual and to
the species, the extraordinary faet al
leged in these anecdotes is quite inex
1 plicable. There is reason, then, to re
! reive these stories with some hesitation,
but they < annot lie summarily rejected,
