Meet some striking creatures with free scorpion coloring pages for kids. These 20 detailed pages allow you to get close to some dangerous beauties with no fear.
Scorpions are arachnids, much like spiders and other creatures like ticks and mites. They stand out from their creepy-crawly brethren with their venomous tails and strong pincers.
There are around 1500 species of scorpions, and each one is a strict carnivore. All of them have venom in their tails as well, and some of them can be rather dangerous to humans.
This collection presents these incredible creatures drawn in different styles that range from simple and cartoony to detailed and realistic.
There’s a lot to learn about scorpions as you color as well, so let’s begin.
20 Free Scorpion Coloring Pages To Print And Color
1. Cartoon Scorpion In Desert Coloring PDF
Scorpions thrive in desert environments, so this cartoon scorpion is in its element! While they may be associated with deserts, they can live in pretty much any kind of terrain. In fact, the only continent they are not found on is Antarctica.
2. Cloe-Up On Detailed Scorpion
You have the chance to get up close and personal with a fearsome scorpion on this page. All scorpions have venom, but a sting from most scorpions is unlikely to be fatal. In fact, it’s estimated that around 25 species out of more than 1500 species would be fatal to humans.
3. Realistic Desert Scorpion
Things are heating up with another big scorpion in an arid desert. Scorpions can be hard to spot, especially in the dark. However, they shine in UV lights, so many people use these lights to avoid them.
4. Scorpion Chasing A Grasshopper
Scorpions are master hunters, and they can use not only their venomous tails but also their strong pincers to incapacitate prey.
5. Scorpion Climbing A Tree Branch
I quite enjoy climbing trees, but I wouldn’t want to climb one if this big scorpion got there first. Look at those massive pincers!
6. Camouflaged Scorpion
It would be hard to spot a scorpion camouflaged in the dirt, and you can make this one blend into its environment. Scorpions have been around for many millions of years, and it’s estimated that they predate even the oldest dinosaurs.
7. Scorpion Crawling On A Rock
There’s something about a scorpion with a raised tail that just creeps me out! This particular scorpion is sure to look even scarier once you have colored it.
8. Scorpion Defending Territory
Scorpions are quite territorial, and they’re not afraid to use their poisonous tails if need be! They can control how much venom they secrete, and they usually only try to use a small amount.
9. Scorpion Hiding Under Sand
If you were to tread on a scorpion submerged in the sand without wearing any shoes, you would be in for a nasty (and painful) surprise.
10. Scorpion In A Rocky Cave Coloring Sheet
Exploring a cave can be fun, but that fun would be robbed if you were to encounter a scorpion. Scorpions usually like to live on their own, so you hopefully wouldn’t have to contend with multiple scorpions if lost in a cave.
11. Scorpion On Dry Cracked Ground
It looks like food and water are quite sparse in the desert home of this scorpion. When times get tough, some scorpions can slow down their metabolisms so much that they can survive without eating for up to 12 months.
12. Scorpion Resting Near Skulls
Things can get deadly out in the wilderness, and this scene emphasises this fact with a scorpion atop a pile of skulls. Hopefully, they weren’t victims of this scorpion! Some scorpions can live for a long time, and some have been known to survive for up to 15 years in the right circumstances.
13. Scorpion In Front Of Sunset
Scorpions are mostly nocturnal, so at sunset, you would be more likely to see them emerging from their little burrows to stalk the night!
14. Scorpion Surrounded By Cacti
The sight of a scorpion in front of a cactus in a desert is one that you may expect to see in a Western film, and so you could draw a character from that kind of movie in the background.
15. Scorpion with Segmented Body
A cartoon scorpion stands boldly in the center of the image. Each segment is clearly defined, giving it a flexible, armor-like appearance. The curled stinger at the end of its tail hovers above, ready to strike but more comical than threatening.
16. Scorpion Surrounded By Desert Plants
The details on this scorpion are truly a sight to behold! When coloring desert environments, I like to use watercolor paint for softer colors that emphasize how empty and lifeless the terrain is.
17. Scorpion Under A Moonlit Sky
It’s evening in the desert, and this scorpion is out exploring. You could color it with a bright neon blue to make it look like it’s under a UV light.
18. Scorpion Exploring A Desert Floor
I think coloring this setting sun with a rich red color would make the scene of this scorpion exploring the desert even more dramatic.
19. Scorpion With Large Pincers
A scorpion’s pincers can be quite strong and nasty, so I wouldn’t get near the pincers on this one in real life!
20. Scorpion With Raised Tail Coloring Page
A scorpion with a raised tail would probably mean it’s on the defensive, but they will also raise their tails when performing a sort of mating dance. Either way, I wouldn’t want to be near one when it raises its tail!After You Color Your Scorpion Pages
