Scorpions are venomous arachnids that can sting humans, causing pain and other symptoms. However, scorpions usually sting humans in self-defense, and such incidents are relatively rare. It is essential to exercise caution when in areas where scorpions are known to inhabit. They are nocturnal creatures and are commonly found in warm, dry climates.
