Scorpions are rare to appear on islands, but between 7pm and 4am from May to October is when they spawn.

remember too that mon-scorpion months are tarantula months and that the spawn periods are flipped for rhe southern hemisphere

Scorpions are usually found around "between May and October (North) and November to April (South). They only appear during night, between the hours of 7:00 PM to 4:00 AM. There is no way to make them spawn during the day. Scorpions can appear on your island or on Mystery Islands."

As the others have covered the actual months and times you can encounter the scorpion, I'll just say that unless they just appear unexpectedly while you're walking and they suddenly attack then there isn't a whole lot to worry about with scorpions or tarantulas. They strike a threatening pose when they notice you nearby, but if you just stand still then they'll calm down again. You can approach them slowly one step at a time, they'll repeat the threatening gesture so just stand still again. Once you're close enough using this method you can simply catch them with your net.

Something to note about scorpions and tarantulas is that they only spawn in open areas without things like flowers occupying space on the ground.

Not sure whether you still needed to catch one for the museum or something or if you were just asking for general knowledge, but yeah. They sell for a decent amount at Nook's Cranny too, so it's worth getting used to capturing them for a quick payday.

Don't forget the weather: Can appear in any weather, and without any spawn requirements (as in, you don't have to catch a certain amount of insects before it can spawn)

I know this is an old post… but wow, I’ve seen many many scorpions and I just started playing a couple of weeks ago. But it’s very hard to catch them. I haven’t yet mastered the slow approach thing.

I always get stung! Hehehe
