Perhaps everyone has heard the name "scorpion," but few may truly understand their habits. There are about 600 species of scorpions on Earth. Most live in tropical regions like Africa or India, but they can also be found in southern France.

Fabre decided to study the lives of scorpions because he was curious about how they survive under rocks or in crevices, when they mate, and how they raise their young.
So now, let's follow Mr. Fabre to see how scorpions live!
