    Fun fact: as opposed to humans, spider legs are curled inwards by default, and they need to put in effort if they want to stretch/extend them. This is the reason dead spider legs are curled up - lacking extra force, they return to their natural position. Some weird hydraulics.

    I can imagine the same happens to scorpions. 🎸
