Asian forest scorpions are nocturnal, meaning they sleep at day and are active at night. During the day, they try to find cool areas to sleep, like inside of holes or under rocks or other areas in shade. During the night, they come out of their habitat to find food to eat. Generally, these scorpions like to live in areas where the temperature ranges from the high sixty degrees to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, although middle European scorpions have been known to live in environments with temperatures as cold as negative twenty five degrees celsius. Asian forest scorpion's main meal is arthropods and insects. To capture their prey, they use pincers to grab it.
Once they have a hold on their meal, they either crush the being or they inject it with venom. Once it is dead from the venom, the scorpion then eats it. Animals that want these scorpions for their prey include birds, centipedes, lizards, mice, possums, and rats.
