Based on the published statistics of diseases management center, yearly frequency of scorpion bite in Iran between 2001 to 2003 has been 38415 bite and the rate of death wich is resultant of scorpion bite has been 21 cases during a year. Doubtless scorpion bite is one of our medical problems, but what is important regarding this matter is a fear that people have about this creature. Unfortunately a precise and right statistcs toward the risk of this creature bite does not exist. Till based on that, it woud be possible to recognize scorpion bite of our society is related to what species and it has what a status among category of death causes and based on that prepre a antivenom monovalan related to every scorpion؛ surely we can not deny this problem in south and west regions of our country specially for hot seasons.In this research first, Ilam province based on geography position, scorpion bitting domain, climate and local researches divided to 14 region of sampling. By use of valid identifying keys such as Navid pour(2008), samples recognizes, frequency of scorpion species in each climate region has showed and their distribution map by use of GIS software has drawn. In Ilam province, among 390 hunted scorpion, 10 species include Hottentotta saulcyi(23/07), Mesobuthus eupeus(22/56), Compsobuthus matthiesseni(13/07), hemiscorpius lepturus(12/3), Orthochirus iranus(7/94), Razianus zarudnyi(4/87), Androctonus crassicaudata(4/1), Buthacus macrocentrus(3/33), Scorpio maurus(2/56), Odontobuthus bidentatus(1/02) scorpion identified.

Abstract Scorpions are the oldest terrestrial arthropodas. Scorpions dig their nest in the ground to protect themselves and their infants from light, high and low tempreture. Regarding habitat, species, depth and the palce of digging, the nest of scorpions would be various , with due regard to the climate of Khuzestan Province and the variety of Scorpion species in this Province, investigation of Scorpion nesting behaviors is an essential issue in Scorpionology. In this research, the nesting behaviors of two types of Scorpions Odothouths bidentatus and Scorpio mauruss were examined. In this Survey, length and width of the nest entrance were measured and small models of the nests were made by means of injecting materials such as cement and chalk in these nests. After the computation of mean, Standard deviation and Standard error of measurment applying T-test and the Significance of error less than%5 , the result of measuring width and length of the entrance, different parts of the nest including initial, middle, final and length of the nest of Scorpion s under investigation were compared. To compare the parameters insides the species, nonparametric Freedman method was applied, and also to compare the measured parameters concerning physicochemical properties of Scorpion soilbed, Mann Whitney method was used.
