If anyone has not used it before. JSTOR is a legitimate online library that contains a lot of academic papers & was originally set up in the 90's as a library of academic papers. So registering to read papers is not a risk. It is a legitimate & well worth joining site.
Looking around I found the following 6 page paper. The Life History of Euscorpius Flavicaudis.

You can only read the above aper not copy it or download it. But it is well worth reading if you have an interest in the UK resident scorpion.
The last few paragraphs make for interesting reading. Some of the scorpions mature at 6th instar, some at 7 & the success of mating increses if they wait until 7th. But that probably means a missed breeding season.
