The film shows the mating behaviour of the scorpion Euscorpius italicus Herbst. During the mating dance the male grasps the female's chelae and steps forward, backward, and sideward and occasionally touches the female's venter. Then, he stings into the intersegmental membrane of one of her palpal chelae, deposits the spermatophore, and pulls the female over it, first using only his palpal chelae, later also his chelicerae. Immediately afterwards, the female is pushed backwards. Thereby the spermatophore opens and the sperm is taken up.
