Description
Scorpions are predatory arachnids possessing eight legs and are most easily recognized by the pair of grasping pedipalps and their narrow segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over the back, ending with a venomous stinger. They are nocturnal, finding shelter during the day and emerging at night to hunt and feed. Scorpion stings are painful but are usually harmless to humans.
