[1] Arizona bark scorpions are eaten by a wide variety of animals such as pallid bats,[2] birds (especially owls), reptiles, and other vertebrates.

[3] Arizona bark scorpions have a gestation period of several months, are born live, and are gently guided onto their mother's back.

[5] The Arizona bark scorpion is nocturnal,[4] and particularly well adapted to the desert: layers of wax on its exoskeleton make it resistant to water loss.

[6] Arizona bark scorpions prefer riparian areas with mesquite, cottonwood, and sycamore groves, all of which have sufficient moisture and humidity to support insects and other prey species.

Centruroides scorpions are unusual in that they are the only genus in the Southwest that can climb walls, trees, and other objects with a sufficiently rough surface.

This antivenom was not FDA approved, but use within the state of Arizona was allowable and very successful in shortening the duration of symptoms and hospitalization.

A Mexican-produced antivenom, Anascorp [Antivenin Centruroides (scorpion) F(ab′)2, Laboratorios Silanes, Instituto Bioclon SA de CV], received FDA approval on August 3, 2011, and is now in use.

Typical UV LED flashlights enable their human operator to readily detect Arizona bark scorpions at a distance of approximately six feet.
