Fatclaw scorpions
Scientific name: Chactidae
Description
Most envision scorpions as menacing desert dwellers, yet many species within the Chactidae family thrive in humid, tropical environments, showcasing their adaptability. Traditionally feared for their venom, it's fascinating to note that the venom of most Chactidae species is relatively mild compared to their more notorious cousins, making them less of a threat to humans. This underscores the diverse evolutionary paths within the scorpionic world and challenges the one-size-fits-all fear that all scorpions are deadly.
