scorpions are all obligate predators, they will feed on any organisms smaller than themselves. Their natural foods include insects, worms, spiders, small vertebrates and sometimes other scorpions.
In captivity scorpions do well on a diet of crickets and meal worms.
Hope this helps!

They eat beetles, centipedes, millipedes, cockroaches and any insect they can hunt down.
Moreover after mating (rather raping), it is often observed that the male scorpion (being huge and strong), tends to dismantle the mate and eat it. Only if the female manages to escapes this routine, can it successfully lay eggs.

bugs.
I had a pet scorpion and fed it crickets. It would hold the cricket in its pinchers and just eat it.
