Scorpions

Colour varies with species, from yellow to black. They are easily distinguished by their pincers and along, segmented tail bearing a stinger. Most scorpions are nocturnal. As well as in hot, dry areas, scorpions are found in grasslands, savannahs, caves and deciduous / mountain pine / rain forests. Scorpion venoms affect the victim’s nervous system. Each species has a unique mixture.
