you can leave if you want I'd just like some feedback one my points and I thought this debate did a good job drawing attention to arthropods but we don't have nearly the amount of debaters as other animals |

It's not reverse psychology I'm just pointing out you're just as prone to judging things visually than factually it's human nature dude you can't keep using it as an defensive mechanism to help make a point. Also I agree crustaceans size make them more durable but point is pede's have no armor on the flanks so a scorp would be fully capable of chewing through a pede alive. How could you get tired of this debate so quickly when they're so many more things to argue about than say lion v tiger? |

What did I just say? "scorpions don't eat prey alive" even if they did they would be full before they did any REAL damage. Also I wasn't viewing visually, its a fact lobster are more armoured then scorpions just because theirs is thicker and all around. |

dude I just showed you a freakn' video of a scorpion eating a mouse alive what more do you want! what makes you think a scorpion won't eat it's prey as soon as it has been restrained? And now you throw a really crappy arguments like "it'll be full before it does real damage". First off pede's are not invincible, second off emperor scorpions have been known to devour entire dubia roaches leaving nothing but of exoskeleton and legs, you don't think it could manage chewing through a pede without getting sa full sotmach?

1. I didn't see the vid 2. A pede is a lot bigger than a roach buddy. 3. I'm already sick of this debate and do not get what you are trying to prove. Did I ever say anything about pedes being invincible? Calm the fuck down dude. My day has already got me agitated an then you come around using "irking" words like friggin and saying "crappy argument". I'm not in the mood to be doing this and am only replying to give you some respect. Chill. Edited by Black Ice, Sep 15 2012, 06:37 AM.

Sorry due I just got a bit pissed since you denied my vid i didn't know you didn't see it, I'll stay chill 1. Here's the vid 2. but a whole adult roach is a lot more calories than a small strip of the pede's mid section which the emperor will be biting into, also the emperor will release digestive fluids as it s chews milling the pede faster 3. You didn't say pede's were invincible but you make it that way you think a scorp is just gonna give up mid way into chewing the pede and the pede is just gonna walk out fine with no "real" damage? 4. Sorry man I didn't mean to I thought you were being stubborn about the "eaten alive" thing so I got kinda agitated I didn't know you didn't see it sorry man |

Nah it's cool i'll try to calm down. Anyway we were talking about chewing chewing through it without missing the main point. What's gonna stop the pede from killing the scorpion first? If they can bite their stinger completely off AND prey on them im pretty sure when its scorp vs pede, the centipede wins more often then not. |

I admit he was right. But still, scorpions are prey to centipedes, i don't see it the other way. |

Turns out the scorpion is faster then thought, so is the pede. and the pede escaped it's grip several times (though it was mainly trying to escape) i wonder what would have happened if a real fight happened. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1848671/a_scorpion_vs_a_centipede/ Edited by Black Ice, Sep 15 2012, 12:18 PM.

A scorpion will eat millipedes, woodlice, centipedes, spiders, beetles, lizards and small rodents. "Discovering mini-beasts". Pic of a scorpion eating a centipede.
