Scorpions are also masters of camouflage and hide under rocks to avoid predators such as the honey badger. A honey badger is not immune to their venom but has developed and extremely high tolerance or resistance to it as they will kill and eat scorpions and venomous snakes quite regularly, and sometimes raid honey bees nests using hit and run tactics, combined with partial venom immunity, to eat the honey.

they uses their venom.

Scorpions are apparently able to regulate the delivery of the venom in scale to the size of their target. Some scorpions are known to produce a transparent prevenom in addition to the more potent opaque venom which is loaded with additional toxin. The use of the prevenom occurs at the initiation of the threat or opportunity. If the action persists, the opaque venom is released. These abilities enable the scorpion to conserve the venom for use when it is needed most, for larger predators or prey.
