The Family Euscorpiidae is a group of scorpions found primarily in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, known for their small to medium size and relatively mild venom compared to more dangerous scorpion families. Members of this family are nocturnal predators, feeding on insects and other small arthropods, and they use their pincers and venomous stinger to capture prey. Euscorpiids typically inhabit rocky crevices, leaf litter, and under logs, providing shelter and humidity. Though generally not harmful to humans, they play an important ecological role as natural pest controllers and as prey for larger animals.
