These wonderful critters are not really scorpions, but insects that live in water. They have long, slender bodies that can reach up to 3 inches in length and usually a brownish or dark color that helps them blend in with the water and foliage. Also, they have a long 'tail' which is actually a breathing tube that they stick out of the water to get air.  \nWith their unique body design, their lifestyle is just as exciting. These critters live mostly in still, freshwater environments like ponds or marshes, pretty much anywhere in the world except the polar regions. Their diet mainly consists of other small insects, tadpoles and even small fish! They are ambush predators, staying still until their unsuspecting prey comes close enough for them to grab with their front legs.  \nNow that we know how they live, let's buzz into the life cycle of these aquatic wonders. The lifecycle of water scorpions begins with the female laying eggs on underwater plants. When the young, or nymphs, hatch, they look like tiny versions of the adults but without wings. As they grow and molt, they eventually develop wings and become adults, ready to continue the cycle.  \nSo, we've learnt a lot about these water dwellers, but what about their relationship with us and other animals? Well, to humans, they are harmless and can be interesting to observe, but are generally left undisturbed in their natural environment. While they are a predator to smaller aquatic creatures, they themselves can be a tasty meal for birds and frogs. And remember, despite their name and appearance, these are not real scorpions, but a unique kind of water bug with a special breathing tube, making them a truly fascinating part of our natural world.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) How long can a water scorpion's body get?  \nA.
