Real Scorpions
    "Scorpion" is the common name for arachnids that have a flat, narrow body, two lobster-like claws, eight legs, and a segmented abdominal tail. They are usually brown in color and range in size from one to eight inches. Scorpions belong to the order Scorpionida in the class Arachnida.  They are usually found in warm, dry tropical regions. There are about 1,400 different species. About forty occur in the United States, mostly in the southwest.
    The scorpion is nocturnal and feeds mainly on spiders and insects. It's tail usually curved upward and forward over the back and has a venomous stinger. In most species the sting is painful, but not fatal. The only deadly species found in the United States is the Centruroicles sculpturatus. It's sting has proved fatal to young children and small animals. Other areas of the world have more dangerous species; the poison is a neurotoxin that attacks the nervous system.
